As the spooky season approaches, Speedwell Dance is set to enchant young audiences with a delightful new production, “The Mountain Witch.” Based on a charming Bulgarian folktale this play offers a refreshing twist on the traditional witch narrative, celebrating children’s innate connection to nature and encouraging active participation and co-creation.
This interractive play is designed for children aged 3-8 and promises an adventurous tale where the natural order has gone awry. An ancient and powerful witch, far from being frightening, becomes a symbol of nature’s wonder and resilience.
The Mountain Witch is a Speedwell Dance production that create an enchanting immersive world where skilled artists engage with audiences of all ages and interact through dance and music to bring stories to life. This show offers a gentle, playful, and inclusive experience that resonates with fans of interactive music classes, Forest School, and Montessori-style exploration.
Children will have the opportunity to join musicians and dancers on stage, awakening scampering creatures, tiptoeing past the Mountain Witch’s cave, and ultimately convincing her to let the sun return. This hands-on approach not only entertains but also educates, fostering a deeper appreciation for nature and the arts.
“The Mountain Witch” is more than just a show; it’s an opportunity to connect with nature, creativity, and the joy of storytelling.
