Embark on a very special interactive adventure with the Enchanted Cinema. Professional musicians lead children and adults to become an orchestra creating the sound effects and music from much-loved Christmas classic, The Snowman using instruments, hands and voices.
The Enchanted Cinema musicans will need your help to create sound FX from the film including an owl, a toothbrush, a whale, the sea, a musical box, a running tap, feet jumping through the snow, and a tearaway motorbike. The 30 minute workshop is followed by Dianne Jackson’s magical animation (also 30 minutes). To end this festive treat, audiences are warmly welcomed onto the stage to meet the artist and try out any instruments, or leaf through a copy of the original Raymond Briggs children’s book.
This event is aimed at children aged 4-12.
