Say the
word
Playful,
accessible, courageous, full of heart: only a few of the words
we could use to describe the events coming up in the next few
days. From a kaleidoscope of family-friendly shows at Imagine
Children's Festival to the tactile shapes that take over
the Hayward Gallery in When Forms Come Alive, there's
plenty to get stuck into.
Looking
ahead, this week we've finally revealed this year's Meltdown curator
– head to the blog for a playlist that will have you dreaming
of summer already.

Gibb: ‘Children are the most honest audience a musician can
play to’
What’s it

and families? Ahead of his appearance at Imagine Children’s
Festival, we asked multi-instrumentalist David Gibb, who
introduces children to a love of music with his Big Band this
Wednesday.
