That's a wrap on our Early Years Residency at an IPAS Reception Centre

Circus artist Fadi Zmorrod and dance artist Juliet Zmorrod finished their 8 weeks residency in an IPAS Reception Centre.

During the residency, Juliet and Fadi delivered eight creative movement workshops to babies, from 3 weeks to 18 months old, and their parents.

The artists created space for babies and parents to dance together and play with different circus objects. Through the joy of movement, babies connected with each other and parents had the opportunity to spend time together, chatting and sharing their parenthood experiences.

Residencies like this are so important to allow us to reach more children in different settings across the country, helping us to uphold our vision of #artsforEVERYchild.

The Ark Arts in Early Learning and Childcare Scheme is funded by the Arts Council.
