AfternoonsAvailable for 6 days
We hear all about Enlightenment Edinburgh - A sound and light show inspired by Vivaldi's Four Seasons creating an immersive experience at Edinburgh's McEwan Hall. Writer and director of new film 100 Nights of Hero, Julia Jackman, and Oliver Coates who wrote the film’s score, tell Len about the process of creating a new fantasy world to inspire the audience. Dawn Taylor, artistic director of Manipulate Festival, tells us what we can expect this year from the varied and imaginative programme, and explains why she thinks it's so important to provide workshops and community involvement in the puppet industry specifically.
