birth of a new blog!

Snow day today - no school! A good day to go sledding down lovely white powdery hills with my lovely children, then sit by a toasty fire and start a new blog.

So, this blog is a space to talk about the family work at Horse + Bamboo - the shows we make for children and families, shows at the Boo, puppet making activities for families, the puppet festival, visiting companies - as well as sharing pictures of what we're exploring and making in the workshop. Lots of exciting things are coming up. The Nightingale, our newest show for families, is having the shortest of January breaks, and starts the second leg of its long tour this Saturday 26th Jan at 1pm at Bury Met. Then, on Sunday, Dynamic New Animation are performing Cloud Child, their newest show for toddlers. for the past week or so they have been using the theatre space at the Boo to rehearse the show, and later this week groups from Staghills nursery and childminders with children from across Rossendale will be watching the show and giving their feedback. Then soon, very soon, puppet making will start on our very exciting adventure for Christmas. I'll let you in on that in due course...
