NATURE-BASED CREATIVITY

Interactive creative music & drama play sessions in natural settings

Our responsive creative workshop sessions encourage children to express their unique creative ideas through playful music, movement and sensory exploration of the natural environment

INSECT PLANET: 4-9 YEAR OLDS

Hand-drawn weirdie alien insects (from ticks to midges to beetles, wasps and butterflies) in lurid purples, blues, pinks, greens and oranges inhabit a watery purple, blue and pink space landscape against a glittery blue fabric backdrop of stars. A gold shimmery planet has the words INSECT PLANET.

Imagine and create your own alien insect planet with our interactive musical walkabout performers!

Fly away into outer space on a voyage into your creepiest, crawliest dreams, as you create a planet populated only by insects. Make up your very own weirdie space critter and get a bug’s eye view of life, the universe and everything as you explore your imaginary intergalactic landscape. Compose an original space soundscape inspired by the sounds of spiders scritching, fleas fussing, hornets hollering and bees buzzing. Or just boogie on down at the space bug disco!

This interactive creative play walkabout experience features Cloud Cuckoo Land’s strolling ensemble of interactive performers and musicians. You’re welcome to choose how you join in with music-making, expressive movement or craft activities: our responsive performers will take inspiration from children’s brilliant creative ideas. Cloud Cuckoo Land is a neurodivergent-led company, and their work aims to be inclusive and ND-friendly. Insect Planet is suitable for all ages but 4-9 year olds especially enjoy it.

Available for touring July to September 2023

SONGS OF THE SEA, SOIL & SKIES: 0-5 YEAR OLDS

A hand-crafted fabric textural backdrop showing a little wooden ship on the sea through and elliptical window, with the words SONGS OF THE SEA, SOIL AND SKIES

An interactive musical journey through natural landscapes for very young children

Multi-instrumentalist Beth Hopkins (CCL Musical Director & Early Years Lead) takes children aged 0-5 on an exploratory journey around the environments of our natural world, supported by another music facilitator from our pool of artists. Children will enjoy joining in with this enchanting 45 minute interactive concert featuring British popular and folk music from the 1960s to the present day, alongside repertoire from international artists and traditional international music. Each concert is followed by a 30 minute musical Stay and Play session where children can interact freely with instruments and beautiful sensory props.

Children will develop their music and movement skills and creative confidence by joining in with the music-making through singing, playing instruments, responsive movement and exploring objects. They can begin to voice, celebrate, and query their relationship with their natural environment and the wider world, and learn to use their innate creative skills to express freely and without judgement, in a fun, safe and exciting environment. Designed for outdoor natural environments but can also take place indoors.

Available for touring May 2023 to April 2024
