About
Meet Dorothy and Stella, your Modern Experts in Transition (M.E.T.), as they welcome you to their office for a presentation on becoming a T.E.F.L.—a Transitional Expert For Life. They’ve been confidently and enthusiastically delivering their presentation for years, but an unexpected phone call announcing an office move throws everything off course. Now, faced with a transition of their own, will they have the courage to practise what they preach and step into the unknown?
SPACE – How to be Ready for Anything is a comedy theatre show for 8–12-year-olds about starting somewhere new, making mistakes and being yourself.
SPACE – How to be Ready for Anything was developed with Primary 7 pupils in 2018, reflecting their hopes and concerns about moving to high school—feelings shared by anyone facing a new beginning.
SPACE – How to be Ready for Anything was developed in collaboration with four Primary schools (Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth & Kinross) before touring in 2018. SPACE – How to be Ready for Anything toured again in 2019 and 2021 and will be touring in 2026.
“The pupils were engaged from start to finish. This is a testament to the two ladies as this cohort of children tend to vote with their feet, body language or attitude. They were totally engaged.”
Teacher
“The show managed to capture everything that comes with transition throughout our lives. The pupils were engaged from start to finish”

“They were all laughing and left feeling really positive. It’s a great conversation starter for further work in class”
