In 2017, we partnered with @sensecharity to develop Kubla Khan, our first show with a version for young people who are deafblind. A water channel wound its way through the audience, taking them on a multi-sensory journey down the River Alph #OilyCart37Years🎂

Patients were taken on a magical, watery, musical journey in the hospital’s hydrotherapy pool, thanks to @GOSH_Arts, the Physio Team & theatre company @OilyCart!

The immersive, interactive, multi-sensory show ‘Splish Splash’ was integrated into patient’s planned hydrotherapy. 🌊

Our shows take place in specially created environments - Wonderlands - that are fascinating to look at, filled with music & appeal to the senses of touch & scent. We shared examples in a Wonderlands collection: the photos are the entry for Over The Moon (1997) #OilyCart37Years🎂

Co-founder and former Artistic Director Tim Webb looks a bit hamper-ed in this picture…😂 (Pardon the pun, we couldn’t help ourselves!)

This is another photo from Picnic (1985) to celebrate #OilyCart37Years

Back in the Nineties #GeorgieGoesToHollywood - a whole school epic @oilycart @TimOilyCart

On Tim & Max's last day, we want to say a HUGE thank you to them & co-founder Claire de Loon for all they've achieved over 37 years. Together, they built Oily Cart into an internationally-acclaimed company & championed access to high-quality theatre for all young people ❤️

Feeling wonderful that we are the newest associate artists of the incredible @oilycart. The support they provide to young artists and companies like ourselves at @FEEL_Theatre is invaluable, & there needs to be more of this in the arts; it gives us the space to create and grow https://t.co/NbiLldavI2

[Natalya Martin @Ohheyitstalya]

How incredible to be given the opportunity to train with @oilycart and create a piece of multi-sensory theatre for young people with PMLD, all in the space of a week! (Our theme was water, if you didn’t already guess 💧💦☔️🌊 🚿) @rosebruford #creatingwiththecart

The #KublaKhan tour may be over, but #SplishSplash is still on the road visiting schools & hospitals as part of @NTWtweets #NHS70 Festival. Audiences across Wales are helping Captain on the hunt for lost treasure in our multi-sensory, immersive hydrotherapy pool-based show 🔭🗺️

A few spaces left on this course. Fantastic opportunity for artists to learn invaluable skills. https://t.co/JNRvPHYuY3

As part of #NHS70 Festival, we are presenting a one-day course in Cardiff with @NTWtweets, led by our Artistic Director @TimOilyCart, to explore the multi-sensory, interactive style central to our work for young audiences with complex disabilities https://t.co/QkUy4bvOaB

Fab opportunity for a one day professional development course with @NTWtweets @oilycart in Cardiff as part of our #NTWNHS70 festival. A really great chance to learn from Artistic Director @TimOilyCart https://t.co/poOkHlKWca #NHS70

Here's some good news as we head into the weekend: Sesame Place is the world's first autism-friendly theme park, with staff undergoing extensive sensitivity & awareness training, a sensory guide for every ride, and low-sensory spaces made available. https://t.co/aXC5GLJat9
