Reach for the Sky – School Season

Designed specifically for early years, this immersive puppetry experience invites young audiences to explore emotions and the diverse ways we perceive the world.

Through non-verbal storytelling, two puppeteers guide the audience into a space of play, participation and imaginary worlds. One character moves with grace and acceptance, embracing life as it comes. The other character finds the world a little more challenging, often encountering moments of clumsiness or distraction, yet possesses a vivid and creative imagination.

A blend of puppetry, clowning, music, and sensory engagement will inspire students to believe that their imagination can take them anywhere – from floating above the clouds in a hot air balloon to swimming with whales under the sea.

Maximum booking: 80 students
