BIG DREAMS
"Next in her dream she was trying to paint, an army of beautiful butterflies.
But the colours were wrong and the shapes distorted, wild tears filled quickly to her eyes."

“I’m thrilled to have the support for such a fantastic opportunity to not only collaborate with so many local creative artists but also to connect, create and share with the local communities the story of Big Dreams. Sometimes we can get stuck in our worries, like Little Girl Livvy does in the story, often before bedtime as her mind races. We all move through our emotional states triangle every day and this story is based on helping children (and adults!) to find creative ways to get their worries out, challenge their own thoughts and find their way back to ‘Soothe’ using creativity, imagination and growth mindset tools.” Laura Loft - Big Music Collective
With a huge thanks to our funders, this project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. #UKSPF @teignbridgecouncil

BIG DREAMS live

A family show ideal for children aged 6+. All ages welcome (*relaxed)
Come and relax with us as we take you on a musical journey through beautiful Devonshire landscapes, flying over wild Dartmoor forests and reaching up high to the stars as we sing sweet lullabies together.
Following on from the premier sell out show and book launch, Laura Loft founder of Big Music Collective brings you an all musical version with plenty of opportunities for interaction and creating music together.
Follow the story of Little Girl Livy and her rollerskating - disco loving Cat Hendrix, as she explores her Big Dreams; the bright and sparkly ones creating amazing artworks and singing in her treehouse with her garden friends. But also the worrisome Big Dreams, when the sun disappears and the shadows appear.
Which dreams can she believe in when her buzzy brain is racing and playing tricks on her? And what or who can help her find her way back to feeling peaceful?
come in a cosy onesie or pjs!
Come on this interactive adventure with Big Music Collective as we listen to the story live narrated with musicians; sing-a-long to the songs Buzzy Brain, Hendrix the Rollerskating Disco Cat, The Moon Song and Sleep Now plus play with the puppets, sensory instruments and more!
