Starcatchers and Dirliebane Theatre Company present Laaaunch!, an adventure of galactic proportions, made especially for tiny humans.

It’s perfect for babies up to 12 months who truly understand the challenge, peril and pleasure of lying, rolling, stretching, sitting up and making it to standing. Join stellar adventurers Dot, Dash and Minum for an interactive and rhythmical journey of physical exploration, strength, excitement and determination that requires the expertise of your baby.

With a comfortable set that babies are free to explore, Laaaunch! is a non-verbal performance, filled with musical beats and comedy, where the babies can interact with the performers in their own way and in their own time.

“Thank you! I really loved the performance and the play section at the end. It was perfectly pitched with enough stimulation without being overwhelming. All the staff were very attentive also. I felt like I was being looked after as well as the baby.”

Feedback from our audiences in March 2024;

“(I loved) the calm connection between performers and use of sound, light, humour.”

“The show was excellent. All the babies were thoroughly engaged and loved the performance. The three performers were brilliant.”

“Use of techno music and instruments. Interaction with the kids. Different resources all around e.g. having from the roof as well as around the floor.

Totally engaging, empathetic and responded beautifully to each individual baby.”

“Loved that the actors learned my daughters name and remembered it throughout! First sensory type event and loved it! Loved how musical it was and the added touch of signing “thank you” to each baby at the end.”

“J loved the performance and how they engaged with all the children. Like nothing I have seen before. Great thought put into each interaction, sensory costumes, mimicking of sounds and actions etc, names learning, love the live music, the colourful lights.”

“The show was absolutely incredible!”

“Felt like being in babies world, pace, sound, exciting things to watch – really lovely.”
