 Happy Christmas! We have had such an amazing year here at Moulded HQ and thought we would share 5 things we have enjoyed this year with you all! 1. We have made our new show, Swish. We are so proud of this work, as we encourage everyone to help save our seas by reducing plastic use. We piloted the show and hope to visit more venues in 2020. You can watch the trailer here : http://www.mouldedtheatre.com/swish.html
3. We did Mighty Mega for Discover Story Centre! We love working at Discover and feel they have been a huge support in our careers so far – We always enjoy our Saturday mornings there 😊 4. We spoke at the Imperial War Museum for their ‘Art of the Possible’ sessions. It was great to inform others about sensory programming and meet other creatives. 5. We finished the year by performing at a Wedding. A first for Moulded Theatre, we loved getting all the children (and grown ups!) involved at Hannah and Anthony’s big day. Thank you to everyone who has supported Moulded in 2019 – We hope 2020 is even bigger and better!  We have been busy in the rehearsal room devising Swish, our new accessible theatre production for complex needs and family audiences.

Hello there!
2018 started really well for us-with sold out shows for Ribbet Ribbet Croak at The Blue Elephant Theatre, Streatham Library, Komedia (Brighton), Proteus (Basingstoke) and Southampton City Art Gallery. The help and funding of Arts Council England made that happen for us, so HUGE thanks to them! We’ve had a busy summer here at Moulded HQ- Emily has been to Milan, Soniya to Rio and Natalie to Canada on her honeymoon. So we are now preparing for 2019! We can exclusively reveal the title of our new show ... drumroll please... SWISH! SWISH! will focus on three key elements:
However, to make this show we need YOUR help! Alongside other funding, we have set up a crowdfunding campaign and would LOVE your support. There are rewards! Please pledge and share this to anyone you know who loves theatre, has children, or just wants to make a positive different to our planet! You can visit our crowdfunder campaign page here. In the meantime, while you are eagerly awaiting this new show, here are some simple ways you can help save the planet:
Thank you for your continued support and for looking after the planet! We hope you have all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2018!

Follow us on Twitter: @mouldedtheatre Facebook: search Moulded Theatre Instagram: @mouldedtheatre We were delighted to be able to perform Ribbet Ribbet Croak at Clapham Library on Saturday 7th October, as part of their Fun Palaces day. For this phase of Ribbet Ribbet Croak, the audience development, we are partnering with the charity Froglife. As part of our tour we are working with three Lambeth libraries, a hospital nursery, Little Miracles (a charity for complex needs families) and Southampton City Art Gallery to deliver both Ribbet Ribbet Croak and an interactive Wildlife workshop, facilitated by froggy experts at Froglife. The first of these sessions we delivered at Clapham library - here are the results of our frog-tasically fun day!  September has got off to a really good start for Moulded, hoorah! We are very happy and grateful to announce that we have been granted funding from Arts Council England, Grants for the Arts, to develop the audience reach for Ribbet Ribbet Croak, both geographically and digitally. The 18th September sees us back in the rehearsal room so Grandpa & Grandma Frog can have fun with their slurping competitions, then we are off on tour! We would love to see you at any (or all) of these fantastic venues: Saturday 23rd September 2017 - The Cockpit 3pm performance Saturday 11th November 2017 - The Rose, Kingston 10:30am performance Sunday 25th February 2018 - Komedia, Brighton - part of the Sundae Club 11am performance, doors 10:30am We will be adding lots more dates to this list very soon, updates to come!  The redevelopment process of Ribbet Ribbet Croak is now nearly completed. We have had so much fun during this time and are now very excited about the next stage of the project, which will see us touring to venues, schools and libraries both in London and around the UK - we will be posting venue details and all upcoming dates in the next few weeks. During the redevelopment we worked with The Makaton Charity to fully integrate The Makaton Language Programme into Ribbet Ribbet Croak. We feel very fortunate to have worked with two amazing performance tutors, Jenny & Zanna, both of whom were phenomenal teachers and mentors to us, teaching us over 140 signs and symbols!  You can find out more about The Makaton Charity and their work here. The Makaton Language Programme is used in many special educational needs schools and centres, as well as by some children's tv stars, such as Mr Tumble. Our aim has been to make Ribbet Ribbet Croak as accessible as possible, and by incorporating Makaton throughout the show, we have been able to reach out to audiences with complex needs.  We have also worked closely with Discover Children's Story Centre throughout the redevelopment and we spent a very happy Good Friday performing twice to two frog-tastic audiences! The previous weekend we had a great day at Cranleigh Arts Centre, where we were happily reunited with our friends from The Makaton Charity The feedback we have received to date has been both brilliant and really helpful. We are so grateful to everyone who has seen Ribbet Ribbet Croak throughout the redevelopment - to the staff and students at The Brook Primary School, everyone at Brixton Library and all our other brilliant froggy audience members! Last but not least, massive thanks to Arts Council England, who by granting us funding have enabled us to reach out to a wider audience and produce an accessible piece of high quality theatre.
