SUMMARY:IMAGINE LIVE
DESCRIPTION:AANT Centre presents \nBy Jolyon James based on the book Imagine by Alison Lester  \nProduced by Jolyon James and NCM \n“It’s about animals!”…”It’s about Imagination!”…“It’s about our Home!” \nMagical and meaningful\, IMAGINE LIVE is a celebration of creativity\, friendship and our precious natural world. With the help of the audience\, performers play and sing their way through the pages of Imagine\, and quickly discover there is WAY more to these pages than they first thought. Spot a leopard\, dive with a dolphin or dig up a dinosaur as this iconic book springs into life before your eyes. \nIMAGINE LIVE is an innovative artistically rigorous work using cutting edge body mapping digital puppetry\, face recognition technology\, animation\, original music and participatory storytelling. \nUnderscored by a beautiful music score\, characters and objects travel between real and animated worlds. IMAGINE LIVE oscillates between Imagine’s iconic natural environments and the playful home setting of the children. Projection screens work seamlessly with oversized props and puppets skillfully brought to life by live performers and a digital puppeteer. The players use creativity to connect a long distance video call between a granddaughter and grandmother\, enjoying a nostalgic connection with their favourite book\, Imagine. \nRelevant to both multigenerational and diverse audiences\, the show is a reminder that connection\, creativity and play are essential ingredients for positive mental health. IMAGINE LIVE’s deep environmental theme invites us to look beyond our backyards into a shared and richly beautiful world. \nBuilding on the knowledge and success gained in the creation of Helpmann Award winning show\, Robot Song\, IMAGINE LIVE reunites the creative team Ashlea Pyke\, Nate Gilkes\, Phillip McInnes and welcomes Eliza Hull as an Access Inclusion Consultant to create an experience that is as enjoyable as it is transformative. \nCredits Creative\nJolyon James Writer / Director / Designer\nBenjamin Van Dillen Production Manager / Lighting Design\nNate Gilkes Composer\nJustin Gardam Sound Design\nAshlea Pyke Assistant Director\nEliza Hull Access Consultant\nProducer / Agent Nicholas Clark Management (NCM)\nAlison Lester Author of ‘Imagine’\nAllen & Unwin Publisher of ‘Imagine’ \nCredits Cast\nAshlea Pyke Actor\nAubrey Flood Actor\nTBC Touring Musician\nPhillip McInnes Actor / Digital Puppeteer\n‘Nana & Soli’ Susie Armstrong & Goldie Wood \nPost show talk\nEnjoy a Q&A with the cast and company following the performance.  \nThese are relaxed performances\nRelaxed performances are open to everyone\, but the environment has been adapted so that individuals with disability\, sensory and learning challenges\, or anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment\, can access live performance experiences without barriers.
