Festival 2019 www.imaginate.org.uk WELCOME 2019 is a very special year for the Edinburgh International Children’s Festival. We turn 30! The Festival has grown and endured thanks to the incredible support of local audiences. Families return every year knowing the theatre and dance productions we present are formative encounters in young people’s lives. The performances are diverse, challenging and enthralling. They encourage children to be critical thinkers with curious minds, whilst making them laugh, gasp or cry. This year, you will again have a unique opportunity to see some of the best theatre and dance from across the globe. Take a voyage from a retro kitchen into outer space with a nod to the first female astronaut. Marvel at a truly invisible man. Or enter into the home of a miniaturist for an immersive and awe-inspiring magical journey. No need to pack anything – just bring your imagination along for the ride. Come and celebrate this auspicious occasion with us this May as we present 15 productions from 8 different countries. We can’t wait to celebrate our 30th birthday with you!

Honest Iago fuels his venom with malignance and hateful contempt. Poignant, intense, heartbreaking ; Othello mercilessly explores every inch of the human condition. Following on from the success of Shakespeare’s R&J and Kill Bill Macbeth, South Hill Park Arts Centre presents a major new production of Shakespeare’s great domestic tragedy co-produced with Icarus Theatre Collective and Original Theatre Company. Othello’s world will be brought vividly to life as a live string quartet and a stunning ensemble cast combine with some of literature’s most vibrant language and characters. A dangerous tale of ambition, jealousy and love will unfurl as Shakespeare’s classic tale of deception hurtles to its dramatic and poignant conclusion. Producer Alastair Whatley explains that, “After exploring Romeo and Juliet with school boys and Macbeth with Tarantino we have this year married Shakespeare with live music to the most astonishing effect. It took months of casting to find the actors who could also play the string instruments to such high standards.” The play stars Vinta Morgan as Othello, a regular actor for The Royal Shakespeare Company he has most recently finished playing in Romeo and Juliet in Stratford Upon Avon, and the renowned Maltese actor Christopher Dingli as Iago.

  • Schools Programme
    Schools Programme WELCOME A recent study found that children who regularly attended theatre with their school had higher aspirations and better hopes about their future lives. This news sent my heart soaring as this is what this job is all about! The productions presented this year are surprising and eclectic, taking the spectator along visually interesting pathways. The works include a wide variety of theatrical genres from spoken text to puppetry, from dance theatre and musical explorations to acrobatics. Many of the productions are non-text based making them accessible to a broader audience. Central to the Festival are four exciting shows by Scotland based companies as well as a regional focus on Flanders, the Dutch-speaking northern part of Belgium, one of the world’s leaders in producing innovative theatre and dance for young audiences. We have also extended the dates of the Festival to accommodate the increased demand from schools with three international productions opening in the week prior to the main Festival week. In line with our mission, this will allow more children access to high quality theatre. I hope that the 2020 Edinburgh International Children’s Festival is full of special moments for you and your students. Exquisitely theatrical experiences that encourage children and young people to wish, desire and aspire beyond their own lives and immediate neighbourhoods, into their potential future selves. Focus on Flanders supported by: Noel Jordan Festival Director Beyond the Festival: • Creative learning project Imaginate
