DER GRÜFFELO Ab 4 Jahren I the Gruffalo Von Julia Donaldson Und Axel Scheffler 1999 – Macmillan Children’S Books www.theaterfeuerblau.at Foto: Clemens Nestroy DER GRÜFFELO ab 4 Jahren I The Gruffalo von Julia Donaldson und Axel Scheffler 1999 – Macmillan Children’s Books Theater Feuerblau bearbeitet die wundervolle Geschichte von Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler. Der große Wald ist voller Gefahren. Da ist es gut, wenn man einen starken Freund hat. Und wenn man keinen hat, erfindet man sich eben einen. Die kleine Maus ist unterwegs im Wald und alle scheinen es gut mit ihr zu meinen. Der Fuchs lädt sie zur Götterspeise ein, die Eule bittet zum Tee und die Schlange zum Schlangen-Mäuse-Fest. Aber die Maus hat immer schon eine Verabredung: mit ihrem Freund, dem schrecklichen Grüffelo. Den hat sie sich zwar nur ausgedacht … … doch dann taucht er auf einmal wirklich auf, und sein Lieblingsschmaus, sagt er, ist Butterbrot mit kleiner Maus. Kann die Maus durch ihren Witz, Charme und Erfindungsgeist die Oberhand behalten?

September 1948 in Hampstead, London) ist eine britische Autorin, die vor allem wegen ihrer Grüffelo-Figur zu den erfolgreichsten Kinderbuchautoren überhaupt gezählt wird. Sie wurde zum Children’s Laureate 2011–2013 ernannt. Donaldson studierte Literaturwissenschaft und Französisch an der University of Bristol und arbeitete als Lektorin, Journalistin und Lehrerin. Heute lebt sie als freie Schriftstellerin im schottischen Glasgow. Donaldson begann ihre Karriere als Autorin von Liedern für das Kinderfernsehen. Der Text ihres Liedes A Squash And A Squeeze geriet dem Illustrator Axel Scheffler zufällig in die Hände, der von dem Text so überzeugt war, dass er ihn kurzerhand selbst illustrierte. Das fertige Buch wurde 1993 publiziert. Seither hat sie zahlreiche Kinderbücher geschrieben, darunter den Bestseller The Gruffalo, der ebenfalls von Axel Scheffler illustriert wurde. Für das Buch The Gruffalo erhielt sie drei wichtige englische Buchpreise (Smarties Prize, den Blue Peter Award sowie den Experian Big Three Award). The Gruffalo ist in über 30 Sprachen erschienen, u.a. unter dem Titel Der Grüffelo auch auf deutsch. Als Fortsetzung erschien The Gruffalo`s child u.a. auch ins Deutsche übersetzt als Das Grüffelokind In Großbritannien ist Donaldson nach J. K. Rowling, Jamie Oliver und James Patterson die Autorin mit der vierthöchsten Anzahl verkaufter Bücher aller Zeiten. In den Jahren 2013 und 2014 wurde sie dort zur meistgelesenen Autorin des Jahres gekürt. AXEL SCHEFFLER Axel Scheffler (* 1957 in Hamburg) ist ein Illustrator und Autor von Bilderbüchern, der in London lebt. Mit seinem Buch Der Grüffelo wurde er zu einem der erfolgreichsten Bilderbuchillustratoren weltweit. Nach einem Studium der Kunstgeschichte in Hamburg ging Axel Scheffler 1982 ins englische Corsham, um dort an der Bath Academy of Art Grafik zu studieren. Er arbeitet zusammen mit der britischen Autorin Julia Donaldson, mit der er unter anderem den Kinderbuch- Bestseller Der Grüffelo schrieb. „Der Grüffelo“ verkaufte sich bis heute weltweit mehr als 10,5 Millionen Mal und wurde in mehr als 40 Sprachen übersetzt. Aber auch andere Bücher des Duos Donaldson-Scheffler sind sehr erfolgreich. So verkaufte sich etwa Room on the Broom weltweit mehr als eine Million Mal. Scheffler zeichnet für die Illustration eines Buches zunächst erste Skizzen, überträgt diese dann auf Aquarellpapier. Anschließend grundiert er diese mit Wasserfarben, übermalt diese wiederum mit Buntstiften und zeichnet anschließend mit einer schwarzen Feder die Konturen nach. Trotz seines kommerziellen Erfolgs musste Scheffler sich teilweise der Diktion des Kinderbuchmarktes beugen. So musste er bei A Squash and a Sqeeze bei einer sitzenden Ziege das Euter entfernen. Axel Schefflers illustratives Schaffen ist in vielen Kurz-Dokumentarfilmen dargestellt, unter anderem in Axel Scheffler on „Pip and Posy“ (2011)[ und Der Grüffelo-Zeichner Axel Scheffler (2012). Scheffler wohnt und arbeitet seit 1986 in London. TEAM nach dem gleichnamigen Buch von: Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler Schauspiel: Maja Franke, Monika Zöhrer, Klaus Seewald Inszenierung: Monika Zöhrer, Klaus Seewald Komposition, Musik: Henrik Sande Bühne: Christina Weber Kostüme: Barbara Häusl Licht: Christina Weber Dramaturgie: Eva Wallensteiner Aufführungsrechte: Macmillan Children‘s Books Eine Produktion von Theater Feuerblau ÜBER THEATER FEUERBLAU Theater Feuerblau spielt Theater für Erwachsene und junges Publikum. Theater Feuerblau gibt selbst Workshops für Erwachsene und Kinder und organisiert Workshops mit international renommierten KünstlerInnen für Theater- & Tanz Interessierte und Profis. Theater Feuerblau realisiert die Projekte mit jungen und etablierten KünstlerInnen im Kollektiv und bemüht sich um einen künstlerischen nationalen und internationalen Austausch (TeilnehmerInnen bei Projekten, TeilnehmerInnen bei Workshops, DozentInnen). Monika Zöhrer & Klaus Seewald (gemeinsame künstlerische Leitung) machen seit 1995 kontinuierlich Theater. Sie tourten mit ihren Produktionen nach Albanien, Deutschland, Italien, Großbritannien, Mazedonien, Rumänien und Russland. 2013 gründeten sie Theater Feuerblau. Ihre theatrale Sprache verbindet Körper, Objekte, Puppentheater, Tanz und Musik, mit dem Ziel ein sinnliches Theatererlebnis zu schaffen. Wir versuchen, die Trennung zwischen Bühne und Publikum aufzuheben. Die Erarbeitung aller Stücke basiert auf diesen Kriterien. Es ist unser Anliegen handwerklich fundiertes Theater zu machen, das poetisch und kritisch zugleich TheaterbesucherInnen der jeweiligen Altersgruppen anspricht und unterhält.

  • ZOG ZOOMS INTO WARWICK CASTLE in 2021 - up to 30% Off 2021 Stays with Early Bookings Made Before 31St January
    ZOG ZOOMS INTO WARWICK CASTLE IN 2021 - Up to 30% off 2021 stays with early bookings made before 31st January Monday 14 December 2020: Children around the world know and love Zog, created by award- winning author Julia Donaldson and brought to life by Axel Scheffler’s irresistible illustrations. From early 2021, the lovable young dragon will be the star of a new 3D interactive trail at Warwick Castle, where guests can also enjoy a unique sleepover in the Castle grounds thanks to an early bird booking offer of up to 30% off stays in 2021*. Zog will be crash landing at Warwick Castle just in time for the February half-term holidays with a delightful interactive trail and a whole host of activities planned to help children of all ages to learn new skills, just like he did at Dragon School. The trail will be available every day until 5th September, so there’s plenty of time over the course of the year to visit and earn a golden star. While Zog may have struggled to master the essential dragon arts of flying, roaring and breathing fire, he’ll apply his new skills to help children with five tasks that mirror his own lessons. Highlights along the trail include soaring over the top of the Castle without actually leaving the ground, testing out the Roar-o-meter to find out whether you’re loud enough for a dragon and learning how to capture a princess. Children will collect a stamp for every task they complete. After joining in with the Sir Gadabout Knight Training School as a final challenge, Zog will be there for a meet-and-greet where children can collect golden stars and pose for a souvenir storybook photo.

The 2018 UK Tour coincides with the 15th anniversary of the publication of The Snail and the Whale which is also being marked with a special edition of the book. A tiny snail longs to see the world, so she hitches a lift on the tail of a humpback whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, experiencing sharks and penguins, icebergs and volcanoes. But when the whale gets beached, how will the tiny snail save him? Tall Stories’ production is influenced by the work of Storybook Soldiers, who help British military personnel serving abroad to record bedtime story CDs for their children back home. The amazing journey of the tiny snail is seen through the eyes of a very adventurous young girl – who’d love to be going round the world with her seafaring father... Storytelling, live music and lots of laughs, in a show for everyone aged 4 and up.

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler Julia Donaldson, the award-winning children’s author, and Axel Scheffler, the celebrated illustrator, first collaborated in 1993 when one of Julia’s songs (A Squash and a Squeeze) was transformed into a book. Since then, the unstoppable duo has collaborated on over twenty books, amongst which emerged The Snail and the Whale, one of Julia’s favourites.
