The Magic Paintbrush @WordFest

About

An enchanting inspirational performance for children and their families/carers using visual theatre, music and magical shadow puppetry!

The Magic Paintbrush tells the story of a child who likes to draw. As the child draws with their stick in the sand, a passing traveller gives them a paintbrush. The Traveller tells the child that the brush is magic and will bring whatever they paint to life. The Traveller warns that the paintbrush will work for the child as long as they use it to paint things that can help others. The child takes the brush and begins to paint. A creative and helpful adventure begins.

The performance lasts for about half an hour and includes opportunities for participation, pre/post show touch tours and a chance to see how the shadows and puppets work!
