MiSST also joined Andrew and the Joseph team to help us create a special edition of the original track "Any Dream Will Do" from Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

The Little Prince, presented by Metta Theatre. Donate to Little Angel Theatre: https://bit.ly/3kyDgpD. A WW2 pilot has crashed in the middle of the Sahara. If she doesn’t find water soon she’ll die. But instead of water she finds a mysterious child – the Little Prince whose imaginative adventures and tales of far off planets quench a deeper thirst. Written and recorded entirely through lockdown Metta Theatre have created a 6 track EP of songs from their new British musical spun into a short film retelling Antoine De Saint Exupery’s much loved story through the medium of shadow puppetry.

Metta Theatre are an award-winning mid scale touring theatre company focusing on creating new cross-artform theatre. Founded in 2005 by writer/director P Burton-Morgan and designer William Reynolds they have collaborated with Little Angel Theatre on several projects over the years including a shadow puppet production of Benjamin Britten’s Canticles in 2010, a puppetry adaptation and 2014 UK tour of Alice in Wonderland, with acclaimed puppeteer Mandy Travis; and a circus/puppetry musical adaptation of Rob Biddulph’s Blown Away in 2017.

Where the Night Came From

Suitable for ages 5 to 8. A beautifully animated tale from Brazil that playfully imagines how the night came to be. Subscribe for more English Literature clips from BBC Teach on Fridays when we have them in: http://bit.ly/BBCSubscribeTeach If you found this video helpful, give it a like. Share it with someone. Add the video to your own teaching playlists. Create an account, subscribe to the channel and create playlists for different age groups, sets and syllabuses. ===================== A beautifully animated tale from Brazil that playfully imagines how the night came to be. It tells the story of three servants who disobeyed the King of the Ocean’s orders and released the deep-sea shadows into the daylight. This film invites children to think about curiosity, disobedience and to consider how we use narratives to imagine the earth’s phenomenon and origins. This clip is from the BBC series Tales from Around the World. A series of six animated short films based on folktales from around the world - from a Brazilian story about where the night comes from, to a Punjabi king who allows himself to be eaten for breakfast each day and a Caliph who is turned into a stork by his greedy brother. The series includes stories from Brazil, India, Israel, Iraq, Pakistan and Nigeria. Narrated by Maureen Lipman, Meera Syal and others. Aimed at literacy students at Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, the films provide an engaging way to inform children about different countries, cultures and storytelling traditions. They constitute an invaluable and versatile resource for further learning across the curriculum and provide a great starting point for discussions in the classroom. For our Tales from Around the World playlist:http://bit.ly/TFATW For our English Literature playlist: http://bit.ly/TeachEnglishLiterature For Class Clips users, the original reference for the clip was p02lx1s6. ===================== Teaching English Literature? This video could be used to support the teaching of key literacy skills such as reading, writing and listening. It could encourage pupils to explore decisions of characters, and examine their actions to understand their cultural belief, values, differences and similarities in everyday life. It could also engage pupils in the way others see and imagine life and ask questions on what is familiar and unfamiliar. This could be used in connection with learning about stories from other cultures, as well as in conjunction with teaching about traditional stories and fables to explore the differences or similarities in storytelling. The tale could be incorporated into specific reading and writing exercises (e.g. pupils can write about a specific dramatic scene or a descriptive setting in the film). In addition, it could be used as part of creative writing exercises. This clip will be relevant for teaching English Literature at KS2 in England and Wales. ===================== For more clips from other subjects at the BBC Teach YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/bbcteach More from BBC Learning Zone: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone More resources from BBC Bitesize: http://www.bbc.co.uk/education ===================== Subscribe to create your own customised playlists, and get notified about our latest clips.

SADLER'S WELLS

Family Dance Workshop

Take part in fun family dance workshops designed for children aged 2 to 6 years (and big kids too!) In this creative movement workshop we follow the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Skip through the forest, sneak in to the house on your tiptoes like Goldilocks, and find out what happens when the Three Bears arrive home! The sessions are designed for children aged 2 to 6 years but many of the activities offer a fun challenge for older primary school children too. These workshops are specially created for families with younger children to do from home while nurseries and schools are closed. They form part of Sadler’s Wells’ ‘Take Part’ series. The workshops are led by Cherie Coleman, who runs the popular Family Fridays sessions at Sadler’s Wells. Movement activities like these have a range of benefits – they can enhance cognitive development, encourage creativity, increase flexibility and range of movement, and help to develop physical strength and stamina.

"In our increasingly alienated world, what could be more important than introducing young people to the healing, uniting, emotional experience of theatre?"

MICHAEL ATTENBOROUGH CBE

Digital Theatre Collection

The Digital Theatre FREEPLAY Collection for children, powered by YouTube, serves to showcase the work of emerging and established theatre makers through to household names in the UK and around the world. Each playlist is attributed to a featured theatre maker with link to their website, in blue text under playlist title, enabling schools and families to explore availability of shows and workshops through to entertainment and educational resources both live and on demand. Digital Theatre FREEPLAY is accessible without sign in or subscription to teachers, families and anyone with a love for creativity.

Children’s television, film and theatre are blood relatives, the trio are rooted in storytelling. There is no reason, if children’s theatre makers can engage an audience they know better than anyone (holding a child’s attention in real time for an hour is no mean feat), that children’s theatre cannot be as successful as its siblings in a digital space.

Annabel Morley – CEO Children’s Theatre Digital

OnTheMap Directory & Festival Calendar

The ONTHEMAP Directory lists theatre makers in the UK and around the world with links to their websites where you can explore shows, creative workshops, festivals and events. The FESTIVAL CALENDAR features annual events within the UK and Ireland.

Sharing the imaginative power of theatre with new generations

Children’s Theatre Digital is designed by Annabel Morley and Sean Hollands. We are both theatre directors in the UK with a simple ambition, to get theatre in front of more children. We want to promote the children’s theatre sector and share the imaginative power of theatre with new generations. When we started this project we knew very little about streaming platforms or websites, but here we are! We have learnt a lot since we started working on this project back in the early days of 2020. We hope that you will see that hard work reflected in where Children’s Theatre Digital is today.

Is Digital Theatre becoming the most financially viable option for family theatre?

Is Digital Theatre becoming the most financially viable option for family theatre? Annabel Morley, co-founder of Children’s Theatre Digital which provides a site to explore and interact with the best of theatre for young people across the globe, discusses the importance of digital theatre in the modern age and how valuable it can be to family viewers and the shows they support. An interesting look at the way live and digital interact in today’s creative culture as well as the value each element offers. Digital cannot live without live. Live cannot thrive without digital. A question I’ve been asking myself constantly creating Children’s Theatre Digital has been ‘can theatre live without the…
