Hampshire Library Tour

Ready, Set, Read: Playful Storytelling with a twist!

Summer 2023 Commotion Dance, alongside The Spring Arts and Heritage Centre, presented an interactive storytelling performance.

“But I don’t like reading” Zip said to their mum,

Mum replied, “get off that console, reading can be fun!”

Zip lacked energy, “ugh, books are not for me.”

But soon discovered, with a bit of help, how amazing stories could be!

Children aged 4-11years joined us on a quest to help Zip discover the joy of reading and moving. With traditional storytelling, plus a chance to complete mini challenges, this free story and movement-based adventure is suitable for the whole family to enjoy. This free performance was part of the Summer Reading Challenge 2023. Touring to 15 Hampshire Libraries and commissioned by Hampshire County Council Library Service.

“12 STARS! Interactive and fun for all ages!”

“Very, very good, everyone engaged and watching, no one bored”

“The performance was really engaging and interactive. The kids were mesmerised and the link to the reading challenge was great”
