Baby Loves Disco

Baby Loves Disco is a reasonably new craze spreading across UK. It started off in USA and is now present in many UK cities. I went to the Stirling event in March and was thrilled to see so many parents having such a great time - out with their babies and toddlers! The kids and the mums and dads were dancing along to the fantastic disco music of the 70's, played by the resident DJ, Ewen from Europa Music.

When the energy waned, there was the 'chill out zone'. Here there was a fantastic choice of free, healthy snacks, cushions and tents - basically an area to relax and re-energise for the next bout of dancing!

There was another room where children could get a taster of a Baby Sensory session. It's in this room that I am doing some storytelling at the next Baby Loves Disco event - on 22nd March.

Why not come along for a boogie, and when it gets too much, nip into the Storytelling room and relax while your children listen to some lovely stories, published by Barefoot Books?

Little Leap Forward in Production

Barefoot Book's very first Young Fiction book, Little Leap Forward, is being brought to the stage! Little Leap Forward will be produced in the UK by Horse + Bamboo Theatre, which focuses on making visual theatre in which music and story-telling is central. We can't think of a better fit for bringing to life Guo Yue's sensory story of a young musician coming of age during China's Cultural Revolution.

The production is expected to open at The Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester in early summer 2009. In the mean time you can follow the play's progress, from planning to opening night, on their wonderful blog, Little Leap Forward - The Story of a Production.
