About the project:
http://www.halfastring.co.uk/under-the-frozen-moon.html
Under the Frozen Moon is a touring theatre production. We regularly tour into schools and present the 55min show alongside a puppet making workshop. This workshop promotes creativity and encourages children to let go of their inhibitions to create, explore and find their own path to create their very own puppet. It is designed to give children freedom of creativity and inspire confidence. Under the Frozen Moon itself is a family winter show about dazzling auroras, greedy dragons and great big hugs. In this heart-warming tale, a young girl sets out on a quest to confront the dragon under the ice who has hoarded all of the fires and lights for himself. With lively poetry, transforming sets, atmospheric live music and exciting puppetry; Under the Frozen Moon brings to life a beautiful world of ice and adventure. Alongside the show we published a fully illustrated story book with the poetry and story from the show.
Under the Frozen is currently preparing for an exciting 46 show run at Southern Maltings this year, in collaboration with Hertford Theatre with a fully immersive venue experience.
