At Effectus Theatre, we are passionate about making theatre accessible to everyone. Our Sing, sign and sensory performative workshops for babies aged 0 – 24 months are a perfect way to experience the magic of theatre.
Sing, Sign & Sensory are a series of sensory performative workshops created for babies (0-24 mnths). The Project will give babies their 1st facilitated creative experiences in purpose-built inflatable sensory pods. This is an inclusive project aimed at introducing theatre to babies in community venues. The workshops are accessible & engaging for young families, focusing on communication development, bonding & sensory exploration. The workshops feature a simple narrative, animation and the sensory pods are equipped with projectors, fans, textured props & safe smells to complete a sensory experience.
Owner Sara Jackson has more than 17 years of professional experience as a performer, director and participation producer in the industry. She has undergone specialist training in baby development, communication and inclusive practice. Our Sing, Sign and Sensory experience is created with baby safety and development in mind.
