Through the Elements
A five-week series of interactive shows designed to support children’s wellbeing through theatrical experiences of the natural world.
Each week, the shows focus on a different element of nature, Earth, Air, Water, and Fire/Light, as children adventure through magical landscapes to meet new friends like Joy the Jellyfish, Buddy the Bird, Claud the Cloud, ROOTZ and more. Along the way, they discover 15 playful Magical Mindful Moments, simple, science-based self-regulation techniques they can use in everyday life.
Packed with participatory theatre, puppets made entirely from natural and found materials, original live music, BSL, and one-to-one sensory experiences, each session begins and ends the same way to create a sense of safety and familiarity. The middle of each show is full of exciting new adventures, and the fifth and final week is a special celebration, bringing together children’s favourite characters and moments from the entire series.
Our 5-week programme aims to support children’s:
- Expressive Arts and Design (being imaginative and expressive)
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development (managing self, building relationships and self-regulation)
- Understanding of the World (exploring the natural world, past and present)
- Physical Development (developing gross and fine motor skills)
- Communication and Language (listening, speaking, attention and understanding)
By the end of the series, children (and their carers) will have a toolkit of magical, playful techniques to help them feel grounded, confident, and connected, all while having a wonderfully fun adventure through nature!
