Description

BBC School Radio Broadcast - 3 episodes

Episode length - 20 mins

Movement and dance programmes for children aged 6 to 8 presented by Diane Louise Jordan.

Three programmes inspired by Lewis Carroll's classic fantasy tale 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'.

Episode 1 - Down the Rabbit Hole

The children skip like Alice, hurry like the White Rabbit, stretch tall and kneel low in a hall of doors, then shrink small. As group caterpillars, they collaborate in threes to make long, wiggling movements.

Episode 2 - A Mad Tea Party!

After a skip through the Wonderland garden, the children move like a Cheshire Cat, stretching arms in an enormous 'smile', then visit the March Hare's house to dance a crazy Tea Party dance.

Episode 3 - The Queen of Hearts

After another garden-skip, the children stamp and point angrily like the Queen of Hearts, then take part in a crazy Croquet match, scuttling like hedgehogs (the croquet balls), stepping gracefully like flamingos (the mallets) and marching away like soldiers (the hoops). They then perform a set of sequences from all three programmes, before waking up from their curious dream.
