Rip, Fold, Scrunch
Date(s)
02 March 2010 to 13 March 2010
Half Moon bring you an enchanting show with accompanying education programme for Foundation Stage.
A butterfly flutters. A kite soars. Children play. But not everyone has
something to play with. Join Rip, Fold and Scrunch as they journey into
the multicoloured world of friendship, with the help of some magical
paper creations.
Inspired by the imagination and play of children, Half Moon's
enchanting new show fuses theatre, Kathak dance and music within a
paper world, which is created and dismantled before our eyes.
After the performance audience members are invited to come and
experiment with paper - ripping, folding and scrunching their own
creations.
Rip, Fold, Scrunch was first developed as part of Half Moon's Exchange
For Change project, funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. The artists
involved worked closely with a local nursery group to create a
captivating play that stimulates and reflects the imagination of the
very young.
Schools
Rip, Fold, Scrunch will be accompanied by an extensive participatory
programme available to Children's Centres and Foundation groups in
Tower Hamlets.
The participatory programme will consist of four multi-sensory
workshops and a visit to Half Moon's Limehouse venue to see the
professional production Rip, Fold, Scrunch. The project will also have
legacy built in via INSET for Children's Centre staff and teachers and
a take home learning object for participants.
Half Moon have vast experience of working with Early Years groups.
“ Both adults and children enjoyed this experience, it was suitable for
age and stage of development. The staff also worked with the children
who attend the Spark Centre, these children have additional needs such
as autism. They loved the session.”
