Niroshini was selected to develop Girl on a String through Imaginate's Accelerator programme.
Girl on a String was a performance idea using dance, music and visual theatre to tell the story of a young girl who feels out of place, and her connection to the things that matter to her but which are becoming increasingly distant and out of reach due to events beyond her control.
It is also a simple tale of the intrigue of discovering one end of a string and wondering where it leads to; or of unexpectedly finding yourself attached to something that could be annoying, or comical, or terrifying, or wondrous.
Touching on universal themes of connection, belonging and loss, it explored the search for a sense of security as a child, and the things that keep you feeling connected to somewhere, something or someone that you cherish.
