An
interactive magical
story performed by Graham and his audience. Graham plays the part of an
old man in the woods who tells the children how he would prefer to be
one of the insects because they are kind and caring to one another. It
is, of course, a magical wood and the children and the old man enter the
world of the insects, where they are asked to protect a chrysalis from
the scary ichneumon fly. The children join the bees in collecting nectar
and dancing, march out on a soldier ant raid to the grasshopper den and
listen to Mummy dung beetle explain to her young ones about their
favourite food. Will
the children stand up to the ichneumon fly? Will they protect the
chrysalis? Will the chrysalis turn into a butterfly? This
drama/story, loosely based on the play by The Brothers Čapek,
involves the children from start to finish.
It needs plenty of space and works well out of doors. weather
permitting. Storytelling,
music, drama, a few puppets, decision making, thrills and lots of action
from children. If
you thought storytelling was just sitting still and listening—then see
this. Graham
has had years of experience running this sort of performance where the
storyteller’s character leads the action of his audience. If you want
your children to experience storytelling, drama, music or perhaps add to
their recently gained knowledge of mini beasts, and have lots of fun,
then this could be the show for you. Foundation
