Playful accessibility meets joyful choreography


We exist to create a sense of belonging within high-quality, radically inclusive dance and theatre opportunities. We engage parents and carers in the process of play and discovery alongside their babies and young children - creating space for connection, communication and delight.


Our work has storytelling and participation at it’s heart, resulting in experiences that are refreshingly exuberant and joyfully uplifting.
