By Jolyon James based on the book ‘Imagine’ by Alison Lester“It’s about animals!”…"It's about Imagination!”…“It’s about our Home!”
Magical and meaningful, IMAGINE LIVE is a celebration of creativity, friendship and our precious natural world. With the help of the audience, performers play and sing their way through the iconic pages of Imagine and quickly discover there is WAY more to these pages than first meets the eye. Spot a leopard, dive with a dolphin or dig up a dinosaur as the pages of the book spring to life before your eyes.
Beautifully underscored by a rich original musical score, IMAGINE LIVE combines digital puppetry, animation and playful audience participation as characters and objects travel between real and animated worlds.
Giant Projections work seamlessly with oversized props and puppets including two enormous mobile phones that connect a long distance video call between a granddaughter and grandmother, enjoying a nostalgic and important connection through their favourite book, Imagine.
Perfect for multi-generational audiences and families, the show is a reminder that connection, creativity and play are essential ingredients for a positive healthy life. IMAGINE LIVE’s deep environmental theme invites us to look beyond our backyards into a shared and richly beautiful world.
IMAGINE LIVE reunites the Helpmann award winning creative team Jolyon James, Nate Gilkes, Ashlea Pyke Phillip McInnes and welcomes Eliza Hull as an Access Inclusion Consultant to create an experience that is as enjoyable as it is transformative.
This event is recommended for ages 4-12. Children under the age of 15 must be under the supervision of a responsible adult (18 years of age or older) at all times.
