Small size is a European non-profit network that aims to promote theatre for the youngest audience (0-6 years). It considers itself a promoter of children’s rights to art and culture right from the start. Small size currently is a corresponding member of ASSITEJ.
It was originally envisioned as a large-scale project and created with the support of the European cultural programme. Founding members are La Baracca (Italy), Theatre de la Guimbarde (Belgium), Accion Educativa (Spain) and GOML – Gledalisce za otroke in miade (Slovenia). Other network partners include Helios Theatre Hamm (Germany), the Polka Theatre (Great Britain) and the Teatrul Ion Creanga (Romania). Small size currently consists of 40 members from 21 different countries and four continents. Most participating theatres work in the areas of drama, dance, music, object theatre and puppet theatre.
Small size focuses on the development of theatre for the smallest children at home and abroad, and stimulates debate on this special theatre form. It also wants to foster international connections between children’s theatres, which it currently does through various documented workshops, among other activities.
Small size considers itself a democratic organisation with an elected board. For further information and registration forms, see www.smallsize.org. All individuals and institutions are welcome to join.
