Rip, fold and Scrumple!

What can we create with a single square of paper? 

As you scrunch the paper, watch how your imagination begins to dance… Dive into the magical world of Club Origami, an immersive and interactive dance show inviting families to create, imagine and explore whole new ways of thinking, playing and moving. Dance, fashion, and live music merge with the magic of origami, whisking audiences away on a playful and inspiring adventure through a world made entirely of paper. Get ready for a delightful journey where creativity unfolds in every twist and turn! Watch the video below.

After the show, stay for 10 minutes of free play.

Rave Reviews

This imaginative stage show is ripping fun for under-fives, who will be mesmerized by the paper birds and monsters. Full of imagination, and creativity springing from an empty page.

The Guardian 

The perfect way to introduce young children to the world of dance and the freedom of expression that comes with movement.
