Imagine going to the cinema and becoming part of a pop-up orchestra who create every single sound FX and the musical score!
This winter, The Enchanted Cinema invites kids and their grown-ups to join their pop-up orchestra and help bring to life scenes from the much-loved animation, The Snowman.
Every child gets a chance to be involved if they choose to, and the session starts with a vocal warm-up, preparing the chorister within for the unforgettable Walking in the Air sequence. Our workshop leader musicians then need help to create sound FX for different images seen in the film including an owl, a toothbrush, a whale, the sea, a musical box, a running tap, feet jumping through the snow, and a tearaway motorbike – you can use FX instruments provided by The Enchanted Cinema or even your own voice to mimic sounds!
The interactive workshop is followed by a screening of Dianne Jackson’s magical animation, The Snowman, which was first shown over 40 years ago. To end this festive treat, audiences are warmly welcomed onto the stage to meet the artists and try out any instruments, or leaf through a copy of the original Raymond Briggs children’s book.
Ideal for children aged 4+ and their grown-ups
Please bring a cushion/rug as the majority of seating will be on the floor
