Mother Goose Project 2005
The Mother Goose Project was a dance and mask-making project for year 3 & 4 children in three local primary schools during the summer term of 2005. The schools involved were Frederick Bird Primary School and Charter Primary School in Coventry and St John’s Primary School in Kenilworth. The project was generously funded by The University of Warwick from their 40th Anniversary Fund.
Over 10 weeks the schools were regularly visited by Frank Redfern, a professional mask-maker and Oliver Scott, a professional dancer and choreographer, who prepared the children for their fantastic performance. They we’re accompanied live on the evening by The University of Warwick Symphony Orchestra and performed in front of a large audience in the Butterworth Hall.
The piece they performed to was Maurice Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite which is a suite of five movements based on the fairy-tales by Charles Pericault such as Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb and Beauty & the Beast. They danced in beautiful masks of Courtiers, Dragons, Witches, Beauty’s, Flowers and Butterflies, all which the children made themselves.
This is one of many projects run by Warwick Arts Centre Education Department, to find out more about others, please see the Current Projects page.
