Sandy Bigara is
at it again! During the April holidays she will perform a short sing-along show
followed by a fun interactive drama workshop. “There is a gorgeous
playground and tea garden available at @TAP for Mums, Dads and siblings to play
in while the show and workshop take place,” she explains. “The shows and workshops all lead on from
one another, but also work independently – so youngsters can attend all four or
just one!”
Bigara explains
the process for the week, in that there will be a different theme each day:
April 2: Singing & the Stage teaches
youngsters how to be loud and proud on stage – they will have opportunity to
work with a microphone and have a chance to sing like a glee choir!
April 3: Action & Drama shows how to use the
space provided and offering a great laugh acting out different emotions and
being real divas!
April 4: Puppetry & Movement will cover the
teachings of Nieke Lombard (formerly of the Handspring Puppet Company in Cape
Town) and shows how to bring inanimate objects to life, utilising movement and
creativity!
April 5: Dance & Action offers hip hop dance
moves and learning to listen to and move to music - from all over the world!
