Float... an only slightly chaotic guided tour of a verrrry peaceful and beautiful world created by @cleland.kerry with the support of @starcatchersuk

With just five minutes until doors opened on our final performance (!!) I wanted to give an impression of the magical and immersive space we have held for a total 42 hours, for around 600 babies under 12 months and their caregivers during this year's Edinburgh Fringe.

It has been so incredibly special to be part of a production of this scale that centres, cares for and celebrates wee ones and their adults.

Presenting Float X Tongue Twister✨ The crossover nobody asked for… but everyone needs!

What happens when Float performers @maddie.broad_art , @cleland.kerry , @rachellairddance and @shiousui meet @scottishtheatreproducers Tongue Twister's Greg Sinclair?

An Ocean Dance Party, that's what! 🎉

Both shows are performing (literally next door to each other) at @thepleasance @eicc_uk , they’re both part of the @madeinscotland_showcase , and costumes are both designed by the wonderful @alisonbrownthreads

So, naturally, it only seemed right to bring these two brilliant shows together.

Two shows. One venue. A magical party 🎉

We think they make the perfect @edfringe combo. What do you think?

Playing, exploring, dreaming, singing, slowing down

last week we @pageonetheatre continued rehearsing for our new show inspired by flowers

we led two workshops at a kindergarten and tried out some ideas, finding ways to bring calmness & playfulness at the same time through sensory materials, sounds and interactive movement

we are aiming to create a space that is not forcing participation, but inviting the audience into an environment that sparks their curiosity and innate sensory capacity for play & connection

I love the slow motion movement of the underskirt

let’s see how this will finds its way into the show or into a separate project maybe? 🌹
