From the show
The two short films, Sunny Days and Insect Hands, invite you to explore the world around you. Shot in the great outdoors, the films celebrate the magic of the natural world - rolling in long grass, finding spiders in the park and the warm feeling of the sun on your face.
Now it’s time to wiggle your toes, get moving and play with this fun, interactive workshop. With Keir from Second Hand Dance you’ll learn some of the moves from Sunny Days and Insect Hands, and get to create your own dance!
