oRLA's Moon
(2017)


a musical performance FOR 0-3 YEAR OLDS
by  Zoë Palmer and Jack Ross

 'It’s the best thing I have taken my thirteen-month-old daughter to so far.'
Orla’s Moon: a magical opportunity for babies, infants and their parents  to immerse themselves in a sensory moonlit world of dappled light, beautiful music and dance, as Orla goes on a night adventure with her faithful dog Silver leading the way.

The half hour show, performed by our dancer, singer and two musicians,  led seamlessly into free play where children explored the props
-- shiny hoops, rice-filled balloons, instruments and glittering fragrant ‘berries’ -- and parents enjoyed a relaxed time with their offspring while artists engaged in creative play with the children. As they left, each adult was given a free booklet with follow up activities, and a CD of the songs from the performance. 

Audio versions of the stories have now been made available online through Shining Cat, and you can listen at Orla and the Sun / Orla's Moon, or here on Spotify.

​​Orla and the Sun and Orla’s Moon CDs are now available to buy from Wonderful Beast at a cost of £10 plus £3 postage and packaging. Please email [email protected] to order.


AUDIENCE COMMENTS:

'It's absolutely amazing! We've listened to the CD four times since we saw the performance yesterday - she just loves the beautiful sounds and voices!' 

'Magical – totally absorbing experience for both of us. So glad that you gave us this opportunity! You are fabulous at working with young children - lots of brilliant interaction – friendly and warm and talented performers.'
