Half Moon presents
When Spring Comes

When Spring Comes featured as part of the Southbank Centre's Alchemy Festival in April 2012.

Half Moon's new show for 2-5 year olds fuses Kathak dance with live jazz in an enchanting world created by illustrator Amberin Huq.

Follow Adeel on his journey of discovery from summer into winter as he anticipates the coming of spring. When Spring Comes is a play about loss and rebirth, exploring the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. After the performance, you can join Adeel and dance to the gentle jazz rhythms of the play.

The show features contemporary Kathak dance by Vipul Bhatti and live jazz trumpet by Sean Corby and is a Southbank Centre supported commission. The show will be presented at the 2012 Alchemy Festival for a limited run of 6 performances.

Half Moon will be in residence at the Southbank Centre from 16 - 19 April developing the show. Drop-in at 11.30am or 3.30pm to see the rehearsals in progress.

"This is sensory theatre at its best. There is plenty for young children to see, listen to, touch and feel." The Stage on Rip, Fold, Scrunch, Half Moon's show for ages 2-5 that was performed at Alchemy 2011.
