We are all trying to work out our story. Who we are? How are we shaped? Who made us? Sometimes you have to find the courage to be just you – the brilliant you.

Following the acclaimed Need a Little Help (‘beautifully immersive production’ The Family Stage) and Butterflies (‘a truly transformative experience’ Children’s Theatre Reviews) Tangled Feet present their new show about how we all need somewhere to belong and someone to belong to.

Cleo is on a journey like no other. She’s trying to discover her past whilst attempting to stay on her feet in the present. Where has she been and when will she get back? Piles of clothes become sea creatures, dresses become parachutes and shadows dance as Cleo and two new friends find a place called home.

Inspired by working with young people who don’t live with their birth parents, Belongings is the story of finding your feet, finding your playmates and imagining a new future.

Told with Tangled Feet’s unique blend of physicality, innovative design and original music, this is a show for anyone aged 6 and up who is looking to find where they fit in.

Content Advice

Please be aware that scenes within the play explore:

* children’s feelings about not living with their birth families

* children’s worries about their parents being unwell, unreliable or absent.

We know some children may benefit from knowing in advance about these points or will have questions afterwards. If you need some ideas about how to answer their questions, the following may be helpful: https://www.twinkl.co.uk/teaching-wiki/foster-care

Reviews

‘beautifully evocative production is skilfully and sensitively directed by Nathan Curry, with the children’s stories expressed through vivid and varied means.’ (Everything Theatre)

‘The three actors perform as children with delightful authenticity, and the production brilliantly highlights the importance of play as a positive force: a means of self‑expression, for learning, companionship, challenge and teamwork.’ (Everything Theatre)

‘It’s brilliantly done, managing to be extremely relatable for children with no experience of the care system while giving them a rare insight into the reality of life in foster care.’ (The Family Stage)

‘It’s one we will certainly be talking about for quite some time, and we can’t wait to see what Tangled Feet come up with next.’ (The Family Stage)

A cast member stands and looks at piles of coloured material around their feet Two cast members are sitting opposite each other. They are both smiling and one has their arm raised with a clenched fist. A cast member is crouching, and appears to be hiding behind a box with a worried look on their face
