Dylan has a meeting at the theatre

Dylan was just four weeks old when we attended the first meeting at The Place for Resolution! 2016.  As all the selected choreographers piled into the theatre we moved slowly to find a seat at the back.  Thankfully, he was really well behaved throughout the meeting and allowed me to concentrate and even take notes!

That trip, however, was our first family trip into London on the train since he was born and suddenly we had to face the reality of the tube with a pushchair and baby and even though my partner was there to help we really struggled.  Suddenly you realize the amount of tube stations without lifts and the amount of stairs around the tube system.  How do the disabled manage?  How do women with pushchairs ever go anywhere?  Yes, we have a sling at home but since pregnancy I was dealing with a back condition and the sling is not an option.  This first trip was a reality check to both of us and we were exhausted as a result - not just from carrying the pram up and down stairs but also from venturing into the real world away from baby land.

Since then, both of us have been trying to perfect techniques to enable me to get about on public transport with a pushchair such as how to go up and down escalators, which to a new mum is frightening, but it is not too difficult once you know how.  Also how to bump a pram up and down stairs. I now watch more experienced mother with admiration for their technique with stairs. What I love most of all though is those kind people who stop their hurried journey on the tube to help carry the pram up and down stairs or off trains - we love you!

I know that for the show to be made I need to be able to get about on the tube alone so that I can take Dylan to the studio for rehearsals with me.  I'm getting there but I have still not tried it alone yet.  Watch this space.....
