DANCING THE STORY
Three little princes refused to learn, until one day a wise man came along and told them stories…..about a cunning old stork and some foolish fish, about a fox who turned blue, about a monkey who tricked a wily crocodile… stories that taught them not WHAT to think, but HOW to think.
Inter-active story-telling /dance-drama based on the PANCHATANTRA , a collection of enchanting animal tales from India, that have influenced stories all over the world… from Aesop’s Fables to Shakespeare to the Arabian Nights and Brer Rabbit. |
MY VILLAGE YOUR VILLAGE
Reghu was born ( and still lives) with his extended family in a mud-brick house amongst coconut palms in a village in Kerala, South India. Wendy was born in a village in Yorkshire, where life was very different from village life today.
The programme explores village life through dance, story, song...
