WATERSIDE Arts is putting on a festival of events which will capture the imagination of children.

It is the Big Imaginations Festival of Theatre for Children and Families from October 19 – November 5.

The programme is as follows:

Darren Pritchard Dance presents Body of Light, Sunday October 22 at 11.30am, 1.30pm, 3.30pm, £9/£7.

A seamless landscape of flowing image where graphics bend effortlessly round the arcs of a live dancer. A very human journey into the world of technology.

Age 3+/20 mins followed by 30 mins stay-and-play.

Little Angel Theatre presents Handa’s Surprise on Friday, October 27 at 11.30 am, 1.30 pm, 3.30 pm, £9/£7.

Travel to Kenya and follow in Handa’s footsteps as she journeys to see her best friend Akeyo in the next village. Handa is taking seven delicious fruits as a surprise – but seven different animals have seven very different ideas…could you resist the sweet-smelling guava? How about a ripe, red mango or a tangy purple passion fruit?

Age 2 – 6/35 mins.

Action Transport Theatre presents Happily Ever After, Sunday October 29 at 2.30pm, £9/£7.

The queen is fed up. Her lazy son needs to grow up, get married and become king. She invites all the princesses in the land to find him a bride but he isn’t impressed by any of them. Then, one day, a princess arrives accompanied by her brother…

Age 5+/50 mins.
