Goldfields Arts Centre presents...
The Lost Little Llama & Little Red Riding Hood Children's Ballet
Commissioned by the AWESOME Festival in partnership with the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) experience the joy and wonder of the ballet with these two specially produced shows for children and their adults. Including direction from renowned choreographer Andries Weidemann and an original score by award-winner composer Dr Emma Jayakumar, experience the classical tale of Little Red Riding Hood like you've never seen it before alongside the original and quintessentially Australian story of The Lost Little Llama.
The Lost Little Llama
There once was a little llama who loved to run and jump and dance. One day, she ran, jumped, and danced right over the paddock fence… and into the bush!
Join Little Llama and her frenemy, Kookaburra, on their adventure as they get lost in the bush, try to find their way home and learn about the importance of friendship along the way.
Little Red Riding Hood
Little Red Riding Hood is traditionally a cautionary tale about listening to your parents and being careful of strangers, but in this gorgeous retelling little Red is empowered to take matters into her own hands. Join her in her battle against Wolf as she tries to save Granny and herself from being eaten, told in the glorious classical ballet form and brimming with surprising twists and turns.
