Little Ray is a dance performance created especially for young children aged 3–5. Through movement, music and gentle interaction, the work explores the rich landscape of early emotions — from joy and excitement to shyness, sadness and everything in between.
Developed in collaboration with early years specialists Starcatchers, Little Ray is designed as a shared experience for children and their grown-ups. Audiences are invited to choose where they sit and build their own soft ‘nests’ from where to watch the dancers as they explore the complexity and beauty of what it means to feel — whether you’re four years old or one hundred and one!
