Hazel worked with nurseries in the local area to try out ideas, watch how children play and interact with their surroundings and see how little ones react to different art forms. All this research culminated in Hazel’s first performances Round in Circles, which opened on 30 June.
Especially designed for babies and toddlers aged 1-3, Round in Circles immerses them in a world where everything is circular. Performance mixed in with time to play holds the audience captivated as Hazel introduces characters and acts out their journeys. With a beautiful score of live music composed and played by Nik Paget-Tomlinson, magical shadows and spinning tops, Round in Circles is an experience you will not want to miss.
‘The music was excellent. The range of stimulus – right colour and sound, it had it all.’
‘Held the children’s attention for the length of the show. No mean feat!’
‘The music and lights gave a lovely sensory experience. Really enjoyable.’
