We toured Igloo, our show for the very youngest audiences (0-3 years), to early years and community settings in Bristol and the South-West in January-February. Igloo wins Best Family Arts Activity in the Fantastic for Families Awards.

We collaborated with Darlington's Theatre Hullabaloo to create a new dance theatre show, When The Birds Sang. We also completed our 2-year creative learning project, Light Up School Learning.

In spring, we toured Vixen to venues around the country. In the autumn we returned to the rehearsal room to develop Belle and Sebastien - our Christmas collaboration with Bristol Old Vic, based on the classic children's story by Cécile Aubry about a six-year-old boy and his dog Belle, a Pyrenean Mountain Dog.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was not possible to reach young people with our stories in traditional ways. In response, we created an exciting new digital story and free resource for primary schools to use in their classrooms - 17 & the Squeak Gobbler - which reached approximately 28,000 school children around the country. We also developed a new show, Vixen, and toured this to schools in Autumn 2021 (once restrictions had eased).

Following the success of Igloo at Bristol Old Vic in 2018, we remount the show in 2020 with a new cast, and embark on a national tour, performing at venues and community spaces around the country. At Christmas 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, we created an illustrated storybook based on Igloo to distribute to children and families in Bristol as a free gift.

After 9 years of delighting audiences from the West End to New York and Beijing, our award-winning show Boing! returns home to Bristol Old Vic at Christmas, running from 29 Nov 2019 - 5 Jan 2020.
