By Jolyon James, based on the book ‘Imagine’ by Alison Lester

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 pages of Alison Lester’s iconic best-selling book, and quickly discover there is WAY more to these pages than they first thought.

Spot a leopard, dive with a dolphin or dig up a dinosaur as this iconic book springs into life before your eyes.

IMAGINE LIVE combines live action and animation with digital puppetry in a large-scale, multi-screen performance. Underscored by original music, characters and objects travel between real and animated worlds, responding in real time to audience input. Beautiful and meaningful, IMAGINE LIVE is a celebration of the transformative power of creativity.

Created by the multi-award winning team from Robot Song, IMAGINE LIVE is a 55 min interactive musical performance for families...Nana’s are especially welcome!
