The Space Between (my head & heart) is a play for years 3 through 5 which explores everyday wellbeing, perspective and resilience.
When an astronaut and an alien are both stranded on an unfamiliar planet they must learn to understand each other if they want to get their feet back on the ground. Using interactive, musical storytelling, Peer Production’s play for 7 - 9 year olds aims to give children healthy strategies to improve everyday emotional wellbeing and build self-esteem and resilience.
