Starcatchers and Superfan present Little Top – a magical first circus experience for babies from birth to 18 months, and their adults. Little Top will transport you to a playful, joyous, upside down, topsy-turvy world where people can fly, patterns fill the air, and anything is possible.
At a time in their development when young children are discovering their own physicality and the pleasures and perils of gravity, Little Top invites babies to experience spectacular balances, astonishing tumbles and inventive juggling in a specially designed set that miniaturises the magic of the Big Top.
Little Top’s beautiful set creates a colourful, cosy, and welcoming space where professional circus acrobats, tumblers and jugglers perform up close in babies’ line of sight, making eye contact, and interacting and responding to their young audience.
What audiences say
“This show is amazing! Saw it on tour and it’s just lovely. My one-year-old was captivated.”
“... While the dancer in blue danced around the space my baby's face was beautiful! (Full of wonder!) ”
Recommended for babies from birth to 18 months
Access
Little Top is a non-verbal show
Running Time: 45 minutes
