AN interactive production for all children is coming to Chalkwell Park’s Metal organisation.
The Song of the Butterfly, written by Leigh author Isabel Bee, tells the story of a brave little girl who helps a butterfly find her wings.
Ms Bee successfully brough her illustrated book to life in a costumed workshop and show at Leigh Community Centre last summer, and is now collaborating with the Chalkwell-based arts organisation’s ‘Hosted At’ programme, to develop a special performance on April 13.
Ms Bee explains: “The first performance and workshop was very well received by the local community and I have raised funds for it to grow.
“We now have singers and I have written and composed new material and music for the production.
“The themes are art and the environment, well-being, transformation through creativity, raising self-esteem, patience, kindness, and the importance of silence and the natural world.”
The performance will take place in a cordoned-off area outside Metal’s HQ by the old peacock enclosure.
Ms Bee adds: “Children who attend the workshop will be in parts of the production, performing dance and drama.”
The workshop for ages 4-10 – who must be accompanied by one adult – is facilitated by two very experienced professional dance and drama teachers, and starts at 5-30 pm, for 45 minutes, with the performance starting at 7pm.
“There is magical lighting as it will be dusk when it commences.”
24 children’s workshop tickets are available and 60 tickets for people to watch the performance.
