Enchanted forest

The Enchanted Forest

Where nothing is what it seems & anything may happen!
Commissioned by the Yorkshire Sculpture Park for Spring 2008
An interactive environment which integrates children’s theatre & drop in workshops. Available to schools & other organisations.
Wearing noble attire children bravely enter the mysterious & shadowy realm of the ‘Enchanted Forest’ where all living things have been frozen in a spell of perpetual winter.
Our quest, as in medieval tales of enchantment & valour, is to drive out the Shadowmancer & his familiar, the dark crow who steals all that is bright. 

Each child makes a magical orb of light to carry into the woods to help revive the sun & the seasons' cycle. 
The dark forest is transformed into a green and colourful glade where the Green Man comes back to life and joins the children processing into the open air and waving banners in jubilation.


 

Thank you for all your hard work over the May Bank Holiday.......
it was such a success thanks to your vision, inspiration & graft!
The whole site was transformed into such a joyful space.

Why did I have to leave so soon? It was like being woken up in the middle of a great dream.

I’m fully prepared to believe it was all total magic!
