Prudential Children First! Singapore
International Festival for Children returns next year from MARCH 8 to

- ACT 3 THEATRE |

ACT 3 International launched this annual
festival for children in 2000. |
|
Singaporean audiences have come to recognize
and expect the Festival to be the prestigious platform providing
critically acclaimed works that are the best in Performing Arts for
Children. |
|
This year, we continue with programming that will
give audiences rich representations and creativity that comes with the
exciting balance of productions in theatre, dance, puppetry, acrobatics, mask
work, dramatic comedy, and digital animation. |
|
This supports the image of an Arts Festival
for Children that offers consistently high quality and imaginative
artistic work that delights young audiences from ages 3 to 12 and their
families. |
|
After 6 years of progressive audience and
artistic growth, the Festival is now recognised and established as the
dedicated arts event for children. Both local and expatriate parents,
schools, and kindergartens know the Festival well and would request for
information well in advance to make their bookings for tickets. |
|
BOX OFFICE OPENS JANUARY 8TH giving
everyone a 2-month heads up! |
|
Prudential Assurance Co. Singapore with its
unfailing support all these years, continues to be the Festival¡¯s main
and title sponsor, manifesting its belief in the importance of nurturing
children. |
|
Ruby Lim-Yang, Artistic Director of ACT 3
International, the presenter says, ¡°Be adventurous with your selection
as this festival is full of flair. It is a festival that draws
inspiration from circles, wildlife, airplanes and the story of a famous
long nose.¡± |
|
Here are the highlights of Prudential
Children First! 2006: |
|
THE CIRCLE |
|
El Redondel, Argentina |
|
Dance, Acrobatics, Clowning |
|
Best for 3+ to 6-year-olds |
|
Drama Centre Black Box |
|
Two actors have a hilariously good time with
their weird and wonderful collection of inflatable objects, all centred
on the theme of circles, like balls, hoops and rings. A spectacular
sensory feast that will absolutely thrill the children. |
|
ANIMALIA |
|
Hobey Ford, America |
|
Puppetry |
|
Best for 3- to 8-year-olds |
|
Ngee Ann Auditorium, Asian Civilisations
Museum |
|
Visually stunning puppetry, movement and
music bring the beauty of the animal kingdom to life. A caterpillar
transforms into a beautiful butterfly; whales perform a classic undersea
ballet and frolicking dolphins are simple delightful. Hobey Ford and his
famous Golden Rod Puppets will delight all as he performs among the
audience. |
|
THE LITTLE GENTLEMAN |
|
Theater Mascarazul, Argentina |
|
Dramatic Comedy |
|
Best for 5- to 9-year-olds |
|
ACT 3 Theatre |
|
The power of friendship is beautifully
illustrated in this simple yet charming tale, adapted from the classic
children¡¯s story by Swedish author Barbro Lindgren, about a sad and
lonely gentleman and a homeless dog who transforms his life. |
