First Light

a 15 minute sensory experience for your baby & you to enjoy.

Bathe in sound and light with your baby as you explore the wonders of how their senses develop. Sit, lie down or stand while sharing this immersive, intimate experience.  Inspired by baby lab research into the expanding vision of babies from birth until 18 months, this 15-minute installation distills the world of awakening perception into a unique show.

Real-life soundscapes harmonise and echo a newborn’s hearing as lights twinkle and colour slowly fills the world. First Light is designed to be enjoyed by both baby and their grown up.

These are 15 minute slots with 1 group per slot (minimum 1 baby and up to 4 people max) going into the performance pod at a time. Please note there is a strict no latecomers policy, to keep the order of the sessions. Please arrive 10 minutes before your booked slot. 

Co-commissioned by the Barbican London and developed with support from Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts and, Half Moon Theatre.
