Up and Away

Up and Away is a playful and gentle theatrical performance created exclusively for babies. Two performers interweave elements of theatre, play and live music in a half-hour performance, which culminates in free play and exploration time for baby audience members. 

Up and Away is performed in a cosy, purpose-made tent. Audience numbers are limited to a small group, and only pre-walking babies may attend. This results in a calm, safe atmosphere, and optimal conditions for babies to engage in the performance, the first of its kind in New Zealand. 

Up and Away has been developed in consultation with a speech-language therapist, in accordance with current neuroscientific research. 

*Performance specifically made for babies that are not yet walking
