This show is Beaford at its very best; giving a voice to local school children to allow them to tell their own stories.
I saw the show at 16.30, the third show of the day. The audience, a mix of public and parents/siblings of the young performers, was treated to the most imaginative, magical journey I have encountered in many years.
The performance itself was a fusion of the 3-year collective work carried out by the core artists across 10 school. The results are stunning and poignant. Themes of fiery dragons, witches, kings and queens and brave nurses and heroic rescues recurred through the dreamlike performance. The young storytellers were confident and enthusiastic in the delivery of their work both on stage and in technical support. Magic is everywhere.
The exhibition can be viewed Saturday 11.00 -14.00 at Bridge Chambers
