Background & General aims of Booster Cushion Theatre for Children
Background & General aims of Booster Cushion Theatre for Children
Booster Cushion Theatre for Children was formed specifically to make
primary school productions that encourage children to take more interest
in books. BCT makes children’s entertainment that is enjoyable and
rewarding. We are the alternative to traditional children’s entertainers
making shows for children using an imaginative and comical retelling
approach to traditional stories. BCT’s solo performer works similar to
a children’ entertainer or kids entertainer but in a theatrical form, often
presenting kids theatre to children for their first time. As such children’s
theatre is so important that the whole experience has to be fun and
surprising for the children. Booster Cushion Theatre for Children wants
the children to come back again and again to see kids theatre. Hence
participation has a tremendous role in clearly showing all adults, teachers,
librarians, parents, arts officers, children's programmers, child minds and
child careers that the show is working. Equally laugh out loud comedy
gives a very clear indication that a theatre show is hitting the spot for its
young audience and then the silence of concentration tells yet again.
This all leads to the theatre experience being positive and something
that should be seen again by every young person. Eventually after many
positive visits to the theatre and successful visits to their school, youth
club, art centre, local library, park and adventure play ground the young
children will grow to look out for and attend theatre productions and shows
on their own account.
A comical version of Dickens' classic tale using a large pop up book, audience participation, humbugs and snow. Booster Cushion Theatre creates the scene with mime, voice and sign language. For 5 years old to adult. Merry Christmas... Bah! Humbug.
