Workshops for Babies as part of the Arts Council’s Arts in Early Learning and Childcare Scheme 2024

Between January and March 2025, dance and circus duo Fadi and Juliet Zmorrod led an eight-week residency as part of the Arts Council’s Arts in Early Learning and Childcare Scheme 2024.


The workshops took place with babies as young as five days old, up to nine months—alongside their caregivers—in an International Protection Accommodation Service in Dublin. Fadi and Juliet's approach encouraged movement, rhythm, and connection for participants.

Illustrator Leah O’Donoghue joined the workshops to capture the energy and intimacy of the experience through her drawings.

These powerful workshops also celebrate our new commitment to creating work for babies, starting from the very beginning of their lives.
