Early Weaves is a wonderful, non-verbal introduction to dance theatre for early years children. 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 versatile willow to inspire each other and dive deep into their sense of imagination. They explore sound and movement, creating magic and laughter, and invite the audience in to play.

See the possibilities they discover with a little bit of creativity. It’s willow but maybe it is something else, what can you make and how can this spark a new adventure for you!

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

Touch Tours – There will be a Touch Tour of the set and props at 10.30am & 1.30pm

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
