A family dance show inspired by Enid Blyton's 'The Faraway Tree', with a variety of dance styles, circus skills and music.
DanSci Dance Studio bring their latest production, The Enchanted Tree - A Magical Dance Adventure, to the Exeter Corn Exchange on Sunday 29 November. It's a double-bill day, with two performances: one at 1pm and another at 5pm.
The show takes its lead from Enid Blyton's The Faraway Tree, a childhood classic for many of us. The story follows a little girl who drifts off to sleep and wakes up in an enchanted woodland, full of magical creatures, mysterious characters and a very special tree. From there, the plot wanders through playful games, toe-tapping tunes, dazzling circus skills, magical winter worlds, epic battles and a few too many sweets. It's the kind of story that works well on stage, with plenty of room for the dancers to switch gears between the quiet, magical moments and the bigger, more energetic scenes.
That's where the dance comes in. Rather than sticking to one style, the production pulls from a wide variety of styles, talents and characters, so you'll see different kinds of movement throughout the show. It's presented by DanSci Dance Studio, and since it's a family-friendly production, children under 14 need to be accompanied by an adult.
