Something's growing in The Garden, can you guess what it is? We can't wait to share some very exciting news for you about some future developments Flying Leap is working on. Until then, keep your eyes on what's sprouting...

This month, for International Youth Day, we celebrate the incredible power, creativity, and potential of young people everywhere. Here's to the dreamers, the questioners, the future changemakers. The world is yours, and we can't wait to see you build it!

We had a moment to sit and chat with Becky and Tasha from Broken Box Mime to learn more about their presentation, what an incredible couple of artists! They also gave us their top 3 reasons to attend next year's TYA/USA Festival & Conference! What were your highlights from the festival this year?

Why is theater for young audiences important? Hear the reasons from some of the INCREDIBLE artists at this year’s TYA/USA Festival and Conference! When’s the last time you saw some TYA? Let us know the comments!

Starting today! We’re in DC at the 2025 TYA/USA Festival & Conference, learning from and being in community with incredible artists from across the country. We can’t wait to explore everything this amazing conference has to offer. If you see us, don’t be a stranger! Let’s get a selfie together 😊

Rain or shine these puppets come alive! After weeks of preparation, our puppets make their debut today! The excitement is electric as final adjustments are made and our member puppeteers take their positions. #immigrantsmakeamericawork @seiulocal73.bsky.social @seiulocal1.bsky.social

Day one in Chicago! Puppet building with @seiulocal1.bsky.social , seiu hcii, and @seiulocal73.bsky.social members and the creativity is flowing. This puppet is already taking on a personality of its own! #immigrantsmakeamericawork

Our time in Seattle has come to a close, but we can’t wait to see these puppets again! Such an amazing time working with local members on these impactful puppets, next stop, Chicago! #immigrantsmakeamericawork

From creators to puppeteers! Today we moved from building to training, teaching members how to bring our massive puppet to life. Learning to coordinate movements, handle weight, and express emotion through a giant puppet requires teamwork and practice. #ImmigrantsMakeAmericaWork

Day two in Seattle and the puppets are really taking shape! Everyone returned with even more excitement, watching strangers become teammates through art is what this work is all about. @seiu6.bsky.social @seiu925.bsky.social @seiu775.org @seiu1199nw.bsky.social #ImmigrantsMakeAmericaWork

Today we welcomed incredible members of @seiu.org to our first puppet-building workshop in Seattle. Everyone dove right in, creating pieces that will come together into something spectacular. The creativity and stories shared are already making this project so special, we're just getting started!

The garden has been thriving for quite some time, and we wanted to show you how much the show has evolved! October 2021 - After years of dreaming, The Garden took root with our first workshops funded by NYC Artist Corps and featuring materials from Materials for the Arts!

From 4 artists to a thriving company. From local performances to @Guggenheim collaborations. From dreams to reality. . We're taking our biggest leap yet! Connect our LinkedIn (link in bio) to learn about Flying Leap's journey and where we'll share why 501(c) status is next move for us. ✨
