Hickory Dickory Dock
Pre-school – Year 3
4-8
Patch Theatre Company (SA)
It’s ‘lights! camera! action!’ onstage as Henry Horatio Richard O’Dockerty tries to beat the clock.
This brand new Patch Theatre production involves its audience in the creation of a video-clip inspired by a child’s view of the world of clocks and time.
Celebrating the wondrous imaginations of children and the child-like inclinations of artists, Hickory Dickory Dock is a whimsical ride on the wings of Henry’s fantasy to become the fastest boy in the world.
An enlivening mix of live music, song, physical image, video-clips, film-making, lighting, storytelling, word-play, games and children’s activities.
An extensive Hickory Dickory Dock play package, designed by early childhood educators, will be downloadable from www.patchtheatre.org.au in March 2007. It will be full of activities and games designed to enrich the theatre experience for children. All teachers booking will be offered a free, three-hour Professional Development workshop.
