Event information
Magnet Theatre's latest Family Festival introduces four new productions created for children under the age of seven. Combining songs, storytelling, sound, movement and play, the programme offers short, physically driven performances designed to engage very young audiences through visual expression and shared imagination.
The four productions are:
- HOOPLA!, centred on imaginary friends and shared adventure;
- Ready, Steady, GO!, which explores teamwork and resilience through sport
- Masambeni, a journey-themed piece about children on the move
- Garage Gang, following a group of young mechanics discovering collaboration through play
The works have been developed by second-year trainees from Magnet Theatre’s full time Training and Job Creation Programme and are directed by Jennie Reznek and Jayne Batzofin, both renowned for producing award-winning theatre for young children. Performers have undergone specialised training in Early Years theatre-making, focusing on physical play and non-verbal storytelling. Set and visual elements are designed by Asiphe Lili and Rebecca Foot.
