Tiny audiences, BIG imaginations! ✨🎭 This year, we have launched our first year-long nursery partnership with Selly Oak Nursery (@sellyoaknursery), alongside our wider work with the Birmingham Early Years Networks (BEYN). The Rep’s Nursery Initiative introduces young children to theatre and creative play at the earliest stage of their development. Through engaging, story-led drama workshops inspired by popular children’s books, children explore characters, ideas and emotions through imaginative play, movement, storytelling and performance. The initiative builds confidence, communication and self-expression, while nurturing creativity and a lifelong curiosity for theatre - because it's never too early to fall in love with theatre! 💙 by @reptakepart
