Walking with Toddlers
‘Walking with Toddlers’ is a comic audio play about the joys and frustrations of going for a walk with a young child, co-written and co-produced by Angie Belcher (writer, director, comedian, and facilitator) and Eleanor Rycroft (Senior Lecturer in Theatre and gender historian). It uses the juxtaposition of an idealised walk imagined via ‘Minarra’s Mindful Mummies Podcast’ and the reality of walking with a toddler, to consider how care-giving can create both obstructions and opportunities when trying to get from A to B.
