Fairytale Fiasco!

Cats acting like mice! Mice acting like cats! Fairytale Land characters on a journey across cold mountains to find items for the spell to return Fairytale back to normal

Children explore the imaginative and creative world of fairytales in this fun drama workshop. During the workshop children enter into Fairytale Land where things are not what they seem! A terrible spell has been cast on Fairytale Land where mice roar and dragons flee, wolves snort and pigs huff and puff!

Minibeasts

Children discover the delights of wriggling like a worm, crawling like a slater and marching like an ant. We use the elements of sun, water and soil to discuss camouflage and predators. Beautiful costumes and delightful music help children explore the environment around them.

Costumes provided include butterflies, dragonflies, ladybirds, slaters, spiders, grasshoppers, worms and caterpillars.

  

Journey Into Space

Children rocketing into space Astronaughts taking photos of Venus to take back to earth Ice crystals on Neptune

This exciting space adventure starts on planet earth where children discuss and discover the solar system. Imagination, drama and a 30ft rocketship launch the children into space and travel the galaxy. During their travels, children visit two distinctly different planets. Space-age music and costumes allow children to re-create these planet environments and compare them. Our fabulous 30ft rocket ship then propels the group back to earth.

Costumes provided include astronauts, stars & moons, lightening, sulphuric gasses, ice & crystal and dark storm.

  

Circus

The thrill and excitement of actually being in the circus will provide a sense of magic for children participating in this drama workshop. No longer will they be in the audience, instead they will have a chance to leap daringly like a trapeze artist, roar like a lion, cavort like a clown and sway like an elephant!

Costumes provided include prancing ponies, lions, tigers, elephants, clowns and trapeze artists.

  

Under the Sea
