A little bit of rain ain’t gonna stop us filming! And of course it’s all the better for the growing foliage and trees 🌲🌿🌳

Our composer @dannysaleeb has got a new assistant for today’s sharing. They make up for their lack of opposable thumbs with enthusiasm.

Designer @s_gilmourdesign has been experimenting with creating bird puppets this morning, and they’re looking fabulous!
Yesterday as part of our @ace_national funded R&D for our new family opera we had an amazing talk from Wilf of the @merseyforest forestry commission all about tree planting and what we can be doing to help our planet 🌍 Like if you want to see a Promise Forest! 🌳
