Backbone Theatre For Babies is a unique program for infants and toddlers aged 0-3 years along with their family and caregivers, focusing on developmental appropriateness, interactivity, and inclusivity.
The program aims to nurture early exposure to the arts, build community among caregivers, craft exciting and unique sensory experiences for infants and toddlers, and create positive associations with theatre for young audiences.
In 2024, Backbone has been working with Brymore Productions who have created a new theatre work for infants and toddlers, What’s In The Woods?
What’s in the woods?
Be transported to a soft and cosy woodland, right out of a picture book, where each new season is full of natural wonders waiting to be discovered by young, inquisitive minds. Enjoy an engaging and interactive story by the campfire before embarking on your own sensory exploration of the woods. Tailor made for audiences aged 0-3 and filled with performance, puppetry and play ‘What’s In The Woods?’ is a gentle welcome to the world of theatre.
What’s In The Woods? will be premiering at Backbone Festival: This World Is Yours Too, with shows running on October 12th, 17th, 24th & 31st.
What's In The Woods? sessions are split into 3 age groups, 0-1 years, 1-2 years and 2-3 years. There will be four different sessions for each age group: WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN.
LOCATION: The Workshop Space, Seven Hills Hub; 28 Tallowwood St, Seven Hills
