DIG 2025: Starcatchers / Kerry Cleland and company - Float (Scotland)

Part of Tramway's Dance International Glasgow festival, 9 - 24 May

A beautiful and immersive world for babies from birth to 12 months old and their grown-ups, with a performance that will ebb and flow through the space during the 3-hour experience.

Float invites you to relax with your baby and enjoy a gently interactive performance, with music, dance, visual projections and sensory objects, in a beautiful, calm space inspired by the healing properties of water. You and your baby are free to explore this safe tactile world and engage with the performers or unwind and de-stress in Float's tranquil space.

Float is a three-hour experience. Your ticket will allow you to come and go as you as want during this time, so you don’t have to worry about arriving later, leaving earlier, or taking a wee break in between.  

Float is a durational performance with a relaxed and fluid approach that is designed to adapt to the rhythms and needs of the babies attending. Float includes a 40-min performance that will run a number of times during the 3-hours, alongside informal and engaging interaction between artists and babies. Audiences will be able to move freely in and out of the space as they choose, and there is a soft start approach allowing for flexibility around the baby's needs and the grown-ups' needs.

ACCESS 
Universal themes. A non verbal show, accessible for both pre-verbal audiences and those who don’t have English as a first language. Float has been designed for and tested with the age and stage of the audience, which is ages 0 -12 months

AGES - Please note your baby must be no older than 12 months old at the time of performance.
