Cubbin Theatre Company are back with Up and Away, a playful and gentle theatrical performance exclusively for babies who are not yet walking and their grown-ups.
Fragments of everyday life are elevated from the ordinary to the exquisite through the exploration of live music and play. Up and Away takes place in a carefully crafted tent. A cosy and safe atmosphere is created by way of a small number of attendees and a requirement that only pre-walking babies may attend.
Through this created sense of calm, babies are given an optimal environment from which to engage and explore along with their caregiver. Every baby will respond differently to the performance, and we embrace and welcome that.
Up and Away is informed by current neuroscientific research and has been developed in consultation with a speech and language therapist. The performance, which culminates in free play and exploration time for baby audience members, is the first of its kind in Aotearoa.
