In November 2009 Starcatchers supported theatre maker Matt Addicott to take up residence in Platform. Whilst in post Matt created several new and original performance experiences for early years audiences including First Light, The Incredible Swimming Choir, the Elf Experiment, The Cloud Factory and This Sucks: The Movie.
Matt continues to work with both Platform and Starcatchers and is currently leading the Playtime project with two local nurseries and the John Wheatley College Childcare course. The project has been made possible thanks to the support of the Glasgow City CHP North East Sector. Find out more about this exciting project by visiting Matt's blog: http://playtimeeastglasgow.wordpress.com/
If you have any questions about Matt's work or would like to be kept informed of the opportunities for early years audiences at Platform please contact matt@platform-online.co.uk
Starcatchers is an innovative project which works in partnership with artists, arts venues, child-care settings and families to develop exciting, inspiring performing arts experiences for children aged 0-4 in Scotland. Ultimately, our vision is that Scotland becomes a world leader in performing arts for the 0 to 4 age range.
