Back by popular demand, The Enchanted Cinema Presents The Snowman (Interactive) glides across the towns and cities of the UK for another winter! Our fun and interactive event starts with a vocal warm-up, preparing the “Aled” within for the unforgettable Walking in the Air sequence before we prepare scenes from the 1982 animated film using instruments from around the world – tree-frog guiros and butterfly charango from South America, Greek lyre harp, African thumb piano, Chinese Wind Gong, South Asian Gopichand and other ingenious foley sound FX. The 30-min workshop is followed by a screening of Dianne Jackson’s magical film (also 30 mins). A final highlight for families is to try out instruments after the show, or draw a postcard for our collection inspired by the animation. The show is ideal for children aged 4+ and their grown-ups who team up to become the magical orchestra. To keep the magic alive, please keep all phones in bags until the end.The Enchanted Cinema is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.@theenchantedcinema. thecabinetoflivingcinema.org.uk.
The Enchanted Cinema tour their sell-out interactive cinema show to local and national venues across the South including Royal Albert Hall, The British Library and Camp Bestival.
faqS
Does every child get to do something?
If they want to – yes! Just make sure we know if you need a sound FX/ instrument by raising your hand.
My child might not want to join in.
No problem at all! Many children like to sit back and watch or join in with bits and bobs. It’s very much a team effort so they shouldn’t feel too much on the spot if they do or don’t join in.
My child has additional needs.
Our shows are very inclusive and kids with additional or SEND enjoy them a lot. Every show has a few noisy parts, in case this helps.
Can my child try out instruments if they didn’t get a chance to?
Yes! At the end, we invite children up to stage to try out things like the harp or hand percussion.
Can I take photos?
Phones off and tucked away please, but please feel free take pics of your child with instruments at the end.
I don’t have / can’t borrow a child – can I still come?
Absolutely! The Enchanted Cinema is for lovers of animation, live music & live foley FX of all ages.
Is there somewhere to give feedback?
