Multimedia description Whenever you wish to present your students with something new and different, our Multimedia performances are ideal. They are the perfect combination of a storytelling session, a solo show and a musical theatre play . In our Multimedia shows, images from childrens stories and/or videos are projected onto a screen for the actors to interact with . These elements along with songs and props not only make the performance more magical and enjoyable but contribute towards a greater comprehension of the play .

We choose to work with small groups of students because we wish every child to feel confident enough to participate . Most importantly we want to make sure that they all understand the language . The performer´s improvisational skills and the special connection that they create with the audience constitute an essential element in all of our plays . The art design of these shows include: period scenery, costumes, stage lighting, props and photos of the student cast are included into the multimedia aspect of the show.
