Undertow: Stage Two

  • Family and kids
  • Theatre

You are warmly invited to an hour-long session where adults and babies will actively help create and test moments of this new show, alongside the artists. Together, shape the evolving world of the experience using sound, drama, movement, light and shadow.

The curiosity of the babies will guide the show as images and stories are woven around the epic experience of pregnancy and new parenthood.

This project is part of ArtPlay’s New Ideas Lab – a program that develops new creative experiences for children over three stages with collaboration from artists, children and audiences alike. Please note that by attending one of these programs you will be part of a work in progress and helping to dream up something totally unique and exciting.
