What a year! ✨

We kicked off 2025 with a hospital tour of The Dark, our adaptation of the Lemony Snicket book, visiting six hospitals across the UK. From there, we created the Audiomoves BoogiePod and toured libraries, schools and parks, getting kids moving across Barking and Dagenham.

We then created and released Audiomoves in Space, made in collaboration with 245 children and astronomers at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, before going on to create The Sleep Show, which toured theatres and hospitals nationwide.

A huge thank you to the incredible artists and young people we’ve worked with this year, our supporters and project partners, our brilliant board of trustees, and our audiences in the UK and around the world. You are magic. ✨ Bring on 2026!
