Lonely Child was a movement piece performed to a soundscape, especially composed for the Kids Drama Club, by Damian Rayne and Amit Rai Sharma. 

We worked in close collaboration with the children to develop the piece. They were initially inspired by The Madhatter's Tea Party, but over the ten weeks we had to work on it the piece shifted into a story about loneliness and belonging. The story is about a girl who tries to become part of a gang, but discovers her heroes are not what she thought they were.
