2 Welcome to the 14th Annual Surrey International Children s Festival CHILDREN ARE TRUE ARTISTS. They play their way through their days and create the world of their dreams, wishes and aspirations. These perceptions help shape who they will become and what they will do. The 14th annual Surrey International Children s Festival is investigating simple everyday play. Ticketed performances incorporate Tetris, a physical dance performance from the Netherlands where the dancers investigate how their bodies relate to each other as they move in space. Plastique from Quebec creates an entire world out of plastic bags and the relationship between two garbage bag puppets. Baking Time, a co-presentation between the UK s Oily Cart company & North Vancouver s Presentation House, celebrates cooking in the kitchen and the joy of seeing utensils come to life. Hula-hoops, clay, face paint, and simple imaginative play will be the theme of the many art activities on site. Come join us May 24-26, 2018 as we Play. Create. Do.
