Mini Explorers (0-5yrs) | Family Arts Festival 2025

For ages 0-5: Creative dance & play exploring nature and the environment

Join for a magical, movement-based workshop where families can explore the wonders of our planet through dance, music, storytelling and creative play

🌍 Imagine…

• Diving beneath the ocean waves
• Soaring high into the clouds
• Dancing with multi-coloured flowers
• Floating weightlessly through space…before celebrating with a fun and joyful dance party among the stars

This multi-sensory experience blends child-led and adult-led play, encouraging families to discover their creativity together. Every session is unique, shaped by the ideas and responses of those in the room.

Mini Explorers sessions take place indoors in The Core theatre under the GAIA installation, as part of Family Arts Festival
