Fragments of everyday life are elevated from the ordinary to the exquisite, through the exploration of live music and play. Up and Away takes place in a carefully crafted tent. A cosy and safe atmosphere is created by way of a small number of attendees and a requirement that only pre-walking babies may attend.
Through this created sense of calm, babies are given an optimal environment from which to engage and explore along with their caregiver. Every baby will respond differently to the performance, and we embrace and welcome that.
Up and Away is informed by current neuroscientific research and has been developed in consultation with a speech and language therapist. The performance, which culminates in free play and exploration-time for baby audience members, is the first of its kind in Aotearoa.
Getting there Te huarahi ki reira

Check out the sculpture of celebrated Kiwi opera singer Dame Kiri Te Kanawa which sits on Level 3 of the Aotea Centre. It was created by local artist Terry Stringer and unveiled by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa herself when the auditorium was named in her honour in 2019.
