Oxford Lieder in Witney: The Thought Machine

11.00-11.45am

A magical Thought Machine lets us use our imagination to go anywhere… Dynamic singer-pianist ensemble Songspiel, together with hand shadowgrapher Drew Colby, introduce a range of weird and wistful characters from anxious Viking warriors to the superhero Hamster Man. With music by Cheryl Frances-Hoad, poetry by Kate Wakeling from her award-winning collection Moon Juice, and hand-formed shadow backdrops, this is a fun, participatory event for young people aged 6-11.

12.00-12.30pm

Drew Colby will give a hand shadow workshop following on from the performance which needs to be booked separately to the earlier performance.
