Starcatchers Research Report

Starcatchers was conceived as a pilot project based at North Edinburgh Arts Centre from 2006 - 2008.  The project created 3 pieces of theatre for children aged 0-3 and their carers: Little Light, My House and Peep.  Integrated with the project was a research strand exploring how we create performances for the very young.  The research was led by Dr Susan Young from the University of Exeter and Dr Niki Powers from the University of Edinburgh.
