Are you mad about Vikings, or stirred by all things Scandi? If so, this is an afternoon for you! Tales from the North welcomes children, families and Vikings old and young!

Our performance at 4pm includes Tales from Scandinavia told, by acclaimed storyteller, Ursula Holden Gill, and a selection of Norse Myths, told through dance in a performance by duo Jamie Boylan and Giorgio de Carolis. 

Would you would like to go one step further and participate in the performance? If so, there are opportunities for adults and children to get involved through our Dance workshop and Viking choir rehearsal, details below.

Tickets are available through the TicketSource website, which you will be transferred to when you click the 'Buy Tickets' button.

Calling all Viking warriors! Odin and Thor need 12 brave 7-11 year olds to join them on stage for a Viking warrior dance as part of their telling of the Norse Myths. During a two hour workshop, you will learn two Viking warrior sequences which we will rehearse and prepare for the stage. You will open the show with a Viking procession, you will have the closest seats to the stage during the performance, and you will perform your sequence as part of the show when Odin and Thor call you into action.

The workshop will take place in the Birchcliffe Centre upstairs, which has been fully risk-assessed for the teaching of dance to children. The external door will be secured throughout the duration of the workshop, and toilet facilities are contained within the space meaning that children can and will be supervised at all times. The workshop will be taught by Jamie & Giorgio, both of whom have Enhanced DBS certificates, as well as civil liability insurance policies for the teaching of dance. Jamie is a fully-qualified primary school teacher and provides dance education to 12 primary schools throughout Calderdale & Kirklees. Giorgio is experienced delivering to children and young people and works regularly on the Centre for Advance Training scheme at the Lowry.
