About Starcatchers
Float, by Starcatchers, is a gentle and immersive performance world created especially for babies from birth to 12 months old and their grown-ups.

Float is a three-hour durational performance designed to relieve the pressure of time, freeing grown-ups and babies alike to simply be present.
Why see this show?
A rare treat for new parents: a beautiful, low-pressure performance made for very young babies, where there is no wrong way to take part. Calming, immersive, and genuinely designed around the rhythms of early life.
