Shapeshifter is an interactive dance performance for a very young audience, for babies aged 6 months to 18 months. It is a poetic journey of a character who keeps changing its shape, evolving its being and celebrating each new shape while remembering the past. The performance is interactive for the babies in the age group and welcomes all members of the audience to explore the stage and the props after the performance.

Duration of the performance is 30 minutes, followed by unstructured play time on stage for all ages.
