Children, even the youngest ones, are a really good audience.

There is no such thing as a model of theatre for the very young.

Starting from these two ideas that belong to the very core of Small size Network history, the round table will be the opportunity to network the most significant professional experiences of performing arts for early childhood, coming from different countries global cultural traditions. An occasion to foster the exchange of ideas, experiences, methods research among those who work in the field.
