I have known the work of CMT since the early days. This remarkably fluid, innovative group of creators – composers, writers, actors, singers, dancers, musicians and digital multimedia artists – has, already, contributed significantly to the development of performance art. By presenting participatory performance spaces – both real and imaginary – destined primarily for infants and toddlers, but also enjoyed by their accompanying adults, the company has expanded the general concept of theatre, bringing magic, the element of surprise and intense ephemeral beauty – all important factors in the development of the young mind – to the creative experience.
