The wonderfully talented Rosie Powell has made us this brilliant trailer for Swish, which we'd like to share with you all.

​If you would like any information about the show, please email emily@mouldedtheatre.com - happy watching!

​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

1. 2. We worked with the Makaton Charity to integrate Makaton into our show. We have been so fortunate to work with Zanna and Jenny previously, and making Swish we were lucky enough to learn from Mike and Hannah. We love working with the Makaton Charity!

 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:

1. Plastic in the ocean.
2. Collaborating with RNLI to reinforce their Respect the Water campaign
3. As with Ribbet Ribbet Croak, we want to make accessible theatre for young children and audiences with complex needs.

We are fortunate to be collaborating with RNLI and The Makaton Charity, as well as continue our links with The Blue Elephant Theatre, Discover Children's Story Centre and Southampton City Art Gallery. 

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:

1. Carry a spare bag with you at all times! How many times have you gone to the supermarket and been annoyed that you had to pay 10p for a new bag? If you buy a tote bag and carry it round you’re not only saving yourself 10p a go, you’re helping save the planet.
2. Buy a reusable water bottle. We LOVE them! And you can even get ones that have times of the day on, so you are making sure you drink enough water! 
3. Buy a reusable coffee cup! In most chain coffee stores you’ll get discounts if you bring your own one in!
4. Ditch the washing liquids in plastic bottles and try an Eco Egg! 
5. RECYCLE! Always read the packages to make sure what you think is recyclable is definitely recyclable!

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!
 
We have so many exciting plans for 2018-including performing our final dates of Ribbet Ribbet Croak, as part of our successful 2017 Arts Council Grants for the Arts funding application.

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!
