Starcatchers & Frozen Charlotte present ISLAND in association with Imaginate.
A sensory performance for babies, birth–12 months and their grown-ups, inviting them into a playful world of music, movement, and gentle exploration celebrating the unique relationship between babies and their grown-ups.
ISLAND is a new show created especially for babies from birth to 12 months, by Starcatchers and Frozen Charlotte.
Join dancers and a live musician in a multi-sensory landscape, where your baby is free to explore whilst you take a moment to reflect on the joys and challenges of new parenthood.
A playful place to tumble and fall and experience the joys of being caught and cared for. A special space to celebrate the unique relationship between babies and their grown-ups where loving bonds can be stretched and strengthened.
