[Program tbd]
Runtime: Performance runs apporximately 30 minutes, followed by 20 minutes of playtime in the space.
Elementary is an immersive, sensory-rich performance created especially for babies aged 6-36 months and their caregivers
Designed as a gentle first experience of live performance, Elementary invites families into a calm, welcoming environment where movement, sound, texture and play unfold at a pace that honours very young audiences. Through soft choreography, interactive storytelling, an original music score and a tactile set made from child safe natural materials, the work poetically explores the elements of earth, water, wind and fire. Created by mothers and early years artists, the performance offers a rare opportunity for caregivers and children to gather in a shared artistic space—one that celebrates curiosity, imagination, and connection.
