Covid-19: loss and creativity
During these very difficult times we are, sadly, unable to perform as all the venues and festivals we work with are either closed or have been postponed. We will update our diary when we can, so do check back for updates. We send our love and thanks to all we work with, and hope you all stay safe and well.
We are pleased to announce, however, that we have been awarded two grants plus a commission to develop work that directly responds to the Covid-19 pandemic:

We are pleased to announce, however, that we have been awarded two grants plus a commission to develop work that directly responds to the Covid-19 pandemic:
Funded by Farnham Maltings, we have been awarded £2,300 to create and install sensory trails in Julia's home village of Toddington in Central Bedfordshire. There will be three trails: one for early years, one for Pokemon Go players, and one for older children and adults. As ever, the focus is on mental health, wellbeing and connection.
We have also been awarded £540 from The Library Presents, Cambridgeshire. This will enable us to create video sensory story versions of 'Crabby' and 'Be Not Afeard', plus a Sensory Discovery Pack for 'Crabby'. The resources are available free online for families and practitioners to use at home or in schools/day centres still open to care for children of key workers or for those with EHCPs, residential homes, and hospitals. Click to find them here or links out to YouTube and Facebook for alternative methods of streaming them.
Mainspring Arts, supported by AOK Trust, have commissioned us to write a suite of six sensory stories responding to the emotional impact of living in Lockdown, or through the Covid-19 pandemic. These can be accessed here.
