BIG DREAMS

"Next in her dream she was trying to paint, an army of beautiful butterflies.
 

But the colours were wrong and the shapes distorted, wild tears filled quickly to her eyes."

“I’m thrilled to have the support for such a fantastic opportunity to not only collaborate with so many local creative artists but also to connect, create and share with the local communities the story of Big Dreams. Sometimes we can get stuck in our worries, like Little Girl Livvy does in the story, often before bedtime as her mind races. We all move through our emotional states triangle every day and this story is based on helping children (and adults!) to find creative ways to get their worries out, challenge their own thoughts and find their way back to ‘Soothe’ using creativity, imagination and growth mindset tools.” Laura Loft - Big Music Collective

 

With a huge thanks to our funders, this project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. #UKSPF @teignbridgecouncil 

Big Music Collective & Paddleboat Theatre Company presents...

BIG DREAMS live

Big Dreams Live is an interactive reading of the book Big Dreams for Families 6 +.

 

Follow the story of Little Girl Livy and her rollerskating - disco loving Cat Hendrix, as she explores her Big Dreams; the bright and sparkly ones creating amazing artworks and singing in her treehouse with her garden friends. But also the worrisome Big Dreams, when the sun disappears and the shadows appear.  

 

Which dreams can she believe in when her buzzy brain is racing and playing tricks on her? And what or who can help her find her way back to feeling peaceful?

Come on this interactive adventure with Big Music Collective & Paddleboat Theatre Company as we listen to the story live narrated with musicians; sing-a-long to the songs Buzzy Brain, Hendrix the Rollerskating Disco Cat, The Moon Song and play with the immersive puppetry!
