TWINKLE is a new early-years performance that gently weaves together theatre, music, and imaginative play. Co-created by Lindsay Goodtimes (Dora-nominated Tweet Tweet, Flora and Fauna, and intergalactic kids’ band Space Chums) and visual artist, scenographer, and toymaker Jen Bulthuis. TWINKLE invites young audiences on a dream-like camping adventure, shaped by simple objects, lyrical movements, and an evocative musical landscape.

TWINKLE is a dream-like camping adventure, where everyday objects change into extraordinary worlds. A backpack reveals a pond, a grassland, a starlit sky; umbrellas turn into sparkling constellations; shadows start to dance, and simple objects transform into friendly companions. With musicians ages 6–60, TWINKLE welcomes young audiences into a shared world of sound and imagination. The show moves easily between tenderness and joyful absurdity as our camper fishes for a star, sings under the night sky, awakens a sleepy sleeping bag, and parties with a Hot Dog.

TWINKLE was developed with the generous support of OAC Recommender Grants from Carousel Players, Theatre Direct, and Young People’s Theatre, and with funding from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Toronto Arts Council.
