Splash!

In spring of 2021, Amanda developed Splash!, a socially-distanced, drive-in performance for 0-6 year olds and their families. She collaborated with adult artists, very young children, and their families through a series of outdoor and virtual Play Lab research sessions. Research participants explored the world of soap, water, and bubbles and, as a result, Splash! was based entirely on the ideas that emerged. This performance was built in partnership with the Lawrence Arts Center arts-based preschool and kindergarten. 

The research, rehearsal, and production processes were done entirely outdoors and the performance was built for twelve families to experience at a time. Families had the option between participating from inside of their vehicles or in their own personal outdoor "splash zone". 

​Amanda Pintore served as the lead researcher, director, and a performer on this project.
