Commissioned by South Norfolk District Council, in partnership with NorCA 2003
Holst’s Planet Suite was the starting theme for this project. |
|
Theatre of Adventure worked on performance skills with 30 children from Loddon High School to create entourages for the 5 Celestial Planet Characters. |
|
The characters and performance material were created through a devising process with professional performers. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mars – completely bonkers |
Mercury – gossiping winged messenger |
Venus – elegant and wafting
|
Jupiter – as jolly as jelly
|
Saturn – confused, ancient, obsessed with time |
|
Our mission was to make the procession interact with the audience using the characteristics of the 5 planets. |

These fantastic costumes light up at night and travel with their
Mobile Celestial Sound System

Perfect for press calls and media hype! |
“An inspired and innovative magical fantasia of movement and music”
