I LOVE INSECTS!

A performance workshop based on Browning's The Pied Piper of Hamlin and set in a modern day circus.

The script is workshopped, songs and dances learnt and children are selected for roles (circus folk, clowns, animals, fire, river etc.) There are two small speaking roles - the Pied Popstar and the King of the Clowns. Every child has a part. Costumes and props are handed out and the show is performed. Needs a hall.

The songs from this show were written by children in songwriting workshops conducted by Fish as part of the huge Melbourne Moomba Fesival.
