Hi Simon, I collaborated with Cap-A-Pie theatre company in Newcastle to devise a children's play on insect senses called Six Legs: http://www.cap-a-pie.co.uk/insect-theatre-workshops/ We had a series of workshops with parents and children to develop the play and several shows last year. Happy to have a chat. You could also try and talk to Cap-A-Pie - they're doing a lot of fun work combining research and theatre.
