Take Flight

About this event
Take Flight is a stunning aerial theatre show for 0-2 year olds and their grown ups.
The story follows a musical mother bird as their baby hatches, grows and explores, navigating the challenges of hunger, sleep and play. Culminating in a beautiful aerial moment, the mother bird supports her baby to leave the nest & take flight.
This multi-sensory, interactive show ignites the imagination and curiosity of babies who are then invited into the space with the performers to explore the baby safe set and props, including having a swing in the silks.
We worked with development psychologist Dr Valentina Sclafani from Lincoln University to ensure the content is positive for babies in terms of neurological & motor skills development & encourages a strong bond between babies and their grown ups.
This show is 35 min long, plus a 15 min stay and play.
”Our 10 month old was just mesmerized and her attention was held the whole way through (which is a miracle in itself)
