Early Weaves

Enjoy a wonderful, non-verbal introduction to dance theatre for early years in a heart-warming tale of friendship, curiosity and play.

Two friends embark on a journey of connection and companionship using fabulously flexible willow, a fully compostable, carbon-sink material.

Watch Willow and Weave as they use the willow to inspire each other and dive deep into their imaginations. They explore sound and movement, creating magic and laughter, and invite the audience in to play.

The performance is followed by a 15-minutes stay-and-play where the audience can get involved and join in the fun.
