Hansel and Gretel A shadow puppet adventure for schools

“The hall went dark, we all fell quiet and suddenly a bright light shone on a special screen.
We heard birds singing, leaves rustling in the wind, and we all held our breath.
Then shadows appeared- we were in a forest and a story had begun ...”
Lights flicker and shadows move to specially composed music,
as theatrical magic tells the tale of two brave children.

For the sum of £250 your school will get:
A 45-minute shadow puppet show performed to an original soundtrack.
3 professional puppeteers.
A 15-minute post-show Q&A session where we share all our magical tricks and show the simple science of shadow puppetry.
A show suitable for Foundation, Key Stages 1 and 2 (and grown-ups too).
A fantastic theatre experience.

Why don’t you celebrate with babbling vagabonds?
Book weeks.
A beginning or end-of-term treat, or celebrate the half-way point.
A sharing day for you and your cluster groups.
A PTA event.

You could get the vagabonds in for the whole day with supporting shadow puppet making workshops

Storyland
Age Range: Nursery to Year 2		 Detectives
Age Range: Years 1, 2 & 3		 Day of Dance
Suitable for all
Beyond the clouds, beyond the stars, way out beyond the moon lies the magical world of Storyland. They all live happily together in story land, or rather they did UNTIL NOW…. Disaster has struck and without your help all the stories could be lost forever.
During this half-day session children will have to work together to solve problems, develop the story and rescue storybook characters. This workshop is a fun innovative way to develop learning skills whilst immersing themselves in a fabulous fantasy world. 		Using all their senses children will have to help solve the mystery of The Red Crime. Jumpers! Faces! Bottoms! Cars! You name it they have all been sprayed red! What on earth is going on?
This is an exciting adventure workshop where children create detective characters and have to follow clues to solve the crime. Children have to problem solve, use maths, logic and cooperation in order to capture the criminal and discuss just how the criminal should be punished.		 For £225 a professional dancer will visit your school for a day and work with up to four classes. She can teach modern dance, jazz, street dance, contemporary, ballet, tap, Spanish flamenco and choreography.
The whole school could be dancing from the youngest child to the oldest teacher. Sessions with each class should be a minimum of 45 minutes to a maximum of an hour and a half. It can be as simple as a dance class including a dance warm up; learning of new steps and a routine or dance can be related to a topic being explored within the school.

Babbling Vagabonds offer a selection of workshops. For more information or a booking please contact the office on 01629 815110, or email education@babblingvagabonds.co.uk
