Flutter: A Discovery Play about the Seasons for Tots

Treehouse Shakers' returns to live performances with Flutter, a new play for babies and toddlers ages 6-18 months and their caregivers that introduces the very young to the four seasons through dance, puppets, and play.

Conceived and written by Mara McEwin, with choreography by Emily Bunning, the piece is performed by three performers, who are the dancers, puppeteers and play-makers. Flutter explores the seasons through a sensory experiential journey of visuals, sounds, objects, some language, and an open concept of play.

Using a non-traditional theatrical set-up, the audience is immediately transformed into a nurturing and welcoming space created by the feeling and ambience of the piece. As the piece begins, caregivers and babies are seated in the round, with the performance in the center. Using original music creates the seasons’ tone, and ambience; music being the first language for the very young mind. Babies and toddlers will have the freedom to crawl, walk, and move within the space, investigate hands-on textures, crawl and climb while experiencing the language/sounds/music and engaging visuals.

Shows are on Saturday, November 19 and Sunday, November 20, at 10:15am and 11:30am. To book select your date from the booking calendar below and then the Caregiver & Child ticket for the time of the show. Add additional child or adult tickets as needed and then proceed to checkout.
