Flutter: A Discovery Play About the Seasons

Treehouse Shakers' Flutter, an awarded play for babies ages 6-18 months and their caregivers, is a stunning discovery play that introduces the very young to the four seasons.

Conceived and written by Mara McEwin, with choreography by Emily Bunning, Flutter is performed by three performers, who are the dancers, puppeteers and play-makers. Flutter explores the seasons through a sensory experiential journey of visuals, sounds, objects, some language, and an open concept of play. Using a non-traditional theatrical set-up, the audience is immediately transformed into a nurturing and welcoming space created by the feeling and ambience of the piece. As the piece begins, caregivers and babies are seated in the round, with the performance in the center. Using original music creates the seasons’ tone, and ambience; music being the first language for the very young mind. Babies and toddlers have the freedom to crawl, walk, and move while investigating hands-on textures while experiencing the language/sounds/music and the engaging visuals. Join Treehouse Shakers’ for this delightful performance for babies and their grownups, that will be sure to create lasting memories.
