It was fascinating to hear about the 'radical acceptance' that Roku Poly offers people under three and their adults. Beautiful responsive performance work 🥰

Competence, capacity and connection - Trevarthen helped me understand beyond words communication through music. Thanks for sharing about your work 😊
Great read. Drawing from the brilliant Trevarthen & Malloch ‘Communicative musicality’ which has been at the heart of my own music making practice with students with complex needs for 15 years since their book came out!
