Samantha Butler commented on Hazel Darwin-Edwards's blog post Creche Landing"Lucky children. It takes brilliant places like this creche to take 'risks' like this in allowing a company in for a week. It would be great to hear from Starcatchers about the experience with children, parents and staff at the creche.…"

We are wondering about applying for a small fund to support a peer group of practitioners interested in Early Years theatre in Scotland to meet, skill share and create training events/ discussions/ networking etc. So I just wanted to ask if there are any of you out there who get a lot out of being part of a group like that? I was part of a group of peers to gather regularly in the past (in a slightly more formal way than just going to the pub) but it was hard to get the balance right between…See More
"Great idea Hazel. I am based in Ireland so can't take part, but would like to hear how this initiative develops. Please keep me posted.
All the best,

There's a venerable tradition of artists' manifestos, which always seem to pop up especially at times of great cultural and political change (post WW1 dadaists; them 60s experimenters...) so, given that we are living through times of extraordinary change right now, I thought I'd start a thread for MANIFESTOS RELATING TO MAKING ART FOR CHILDREN.Don't have one? Nor did I until 24 hours ago, then I decided I'd write one.So get going, and it'd be grand to see them here...See More
