A mother sits on the floor, supporting a baby to sit on a chair next to her. They are both looking up at a speaker above them with wonder. Behind them are wooden crates filled with plants. Five stars are overlaid on the photo, attributed to Everything Theatre underneath.

Great Big Tiny World

A sensory show for babies (0-12 months).

A young woman with short brown hair sitting in her wheelchair. A middle aged woman with short grey hair and glasses sits next to her. They are inside the When the World Turns performance space, with a billowing tent overhead and surrounded with wooden crates and plants all around. There is atmospheric low lighting, illuminating their faces with a golden glow and casting shadows of the plant leaves. Hanging just above them is a metal bin lid. The Offies Assessors’ Choice badge is overlaid on the top.

When the World Turns

A pioneering, sustainable collaboration with Polyglot Theatre (AUS).

A young boy smiles at his reflection in a mirror framed with white lights. Two adults dressed in white look on, one holds the mirror. The image is lit with mauve tones.
