As the spooky season creeps closer, Speedwell Dance introduces children to a friendly witch, originated from a Bulgarian folk tale who, rather than scaring little ones, celebrates children’s innate connection to nature and encourages active participation and co-creation with the children. In this adventurous tale of seasons gone awry, an ancient and powerful witch and the determination of children to put things right, join musicians and dancers to awaken scampering creatures, tiptoe past the Mountain Witch’s cave and finally convince her to let the sun return. A playful and inclusive experience for children aged 3-8 years and their grown-ups, with inspiring dance, songs and original music played live on clarinet, flute and cello.
