An enchanting multi-sensory show for children from 6 months to 6 years old. A little girl loves to jump. One day, she jumps as high as a flower. The next day, she jumps as high as a house. And the day after, she jumps over the moon. Wherever she jumps, she discovers wonders to see, to hear, to smell and to touch. This delightfully innovative piece brings together an inflatable installation which glows like a jewel, trampolines large and small to create an enhanced story-telling space. Here small groups of children meet musician, a storyteller and an acrobat. To gain confidence of very young children and so that we can adapt our stories to incorporate their ideas, we work with a maximum of twenty one young people for each thirty minute performance. So that each performance is truly age appropriate, we offer options, each directed at a specific age group. One option is for the very young, 6 months - 2 years, and another for 2 - 4 year olds. By carefully crafting each storytelling session for a particular age group, we make Jumpin Beans the perfect introduction to theatre for even the very youngest child.
