Inside a small green tent, the puppeteer with a big smile on her face holds a pair of headphones in one hand.  On the green mat in front of her there are six more pairs of headphones and either side of her are three natural woven baskets containing different objects like wooden eggs, wooden pencils small pieces and small pieces of wood.

Little Landscapes is a tiny show using sounds, poetry and touch to tell stories of nature and memories. It’s especially for young children aged 5–7 and their grown-ups. It’s rooted in the textures and patterns of the natural world, and the show invites audiences into a quiet, playful environment where tiny worlds unfurl. Amy will tell five stories about her childhood growing up on a fruit and veg farm in Tauranga. It is highly interactive but very gentle, and offers a moment of pause and meaningful play for grown-ups and their young children. Everyone wears headphones to experience the show through microphones which amplify tiny sounds and whispered voices.
