Lightstream has been designed and directed for 2-5 year olds by Early Years visual art expert Richard Tomlinson and National Early Years Director Jo Belloli. It will feature brilliant Early Years actor Frank Wurz, with specially composed and live music by leading Somerset artist Tim Hill.
Richard Tomlinson said, “Lightstream is a fun and imaginative adventure through light and space. There will be big lights and tiny lights, lights that glow and lights that move. Even some noisy lights! The performances will last 45 minutes and will be followed by a snack. All young children are welcome, along with a grown up of their choice.”
The show will be launched at The Octagon on Thursday 10 May at 10am, with a repeat performance at 1pm. On Monday 14 May, Lightstream will be taking over the Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre in Taunton, with two shows at 10am and 1pm. Tickets will cost £4 and can be purchased from the venues.
Then on Monday 21 May, to celebrate the arrival of the Olympic Torch in Somerset, you can take part in a FREE drop-in Lightstream workshop at the Brewhouse Theatre & Arts Centre in Taunton. This workshop is open to Under 5s and their families and will run from 2pm to 3:30pm. The Brewhouse will also be exhibiting an exciting Lightstream installation, incorporating glimpses of film, colour and light, which will be on view throughout the afternoon until late.
