IF you are looking to entertain the younger members of the household this half term, Theatr Clwyd has two shows that will be fun for all the family.
Get Lost and Found and The Roald Dahl Story Company presents Roald Dahl and The Imagination Seekers (May 30-31).
Get Lost And Found.
All around the world Roald Dahlʼs words are disappearing, not only from books but children’s minds too! Now only a secret organisation known as the Ancient Guild of TaleTenders can save the stories - and they need your help. Join Terry Tibblestick and Brenda Bogg on their journey.
Especially made for ages five and up, the show develops both creative and literacy skills through performance, games, and creative play, while exploring Roald Dahl’s extraordinary stories, including The BFG and The Twits along the way.
Roald Dahl and The Imagination Seekers.
The Leader has a family ticket to giveaway (four tickets, one guest must be an adult), see below for details on how to enter.
Fans of music and movement will not want to miss Remarkable Rhythm (June 1). For one day only meet Rhythm and Glas on a park bench, Will they find a way to create something remarkable; a rhythm that is theirs alone?
Remarkable Rhythm.
Rhythm is spontaneous and experiences life as movement; and all sound as music. Glas loves life smooth and stable; and prefers things to remain the same. When Rhythm and Glas meet at Bellevue park they have the five days of half-term to see if their friendship is worth keeping once they go back to their separate schools. Through music and movement and mishap these two young people experience the difficulty and joy in connecting with those unlike themselves.
Remarkable Rhythm is a two-person dance theatre show for families that explores communication and connection through engaging movement, R&B music, and rhythmic integrated audio descriptive text.
Theatr Clwyd’s Family Arts Festival.
There will be more family activities, workshops and shows in Theatr Clwyd’s Family Arts Festival (July 8-9) this year taking place in Wepre Park. More details on this to be announced soon.
Later in the year, enter a world of magic, giants and wizards in the classic Welsh tale, Y Mabinogi (June 25-26). Inventively told with storytelling, puppetry and music, this bilingual tale is fun for ages seven to 11. And finally, join the plucky little hen in The Adventures of Little Red Hen (September 23-24) this is an adaptation of the much-loved story with puppetry, live music and comedy for ages three to 10.
