Up and Away is a beautifully crafted theatre experience designed especially for pre-walking babies and their grown-ups.
Set inside a cosy tent and limited to a small group of attendees, this gentle and sensory performance invites babies to engage with live music, movement and playful exploration in a calm, nurturing space.
Everyday moments are transformed into moments of wonder, guided by research in early development and created in consultation with a speech and language therapist. The performance ends with time for free play and connection, allowing each baby to explore at their own pace.
Created by Cubbin Theatre Company, Up and Away is the first of its kind in Aotearoa and a magical introduction to the world of theatre.
