About the Artist
The PaperBoats is an international partnership platform for performance-makers, pioneering new ways of connecting and creating. We’re asking ourselves: “What explosion of possibility happens when performance-makers connect with one another across nations, cultures and communities, in a whole range of ways around performance-making for early childhood audiences?” The answer is revealing an extraordinary new way of making theatre for children through a process of co-creation that builds an ecology of creative engagement and partnership between international communities, artists and presenters.
