The Magic Paintbrush
Once upon a time in a grey, colourless world, someone is scribbling. Follow our brave young heroine as she leaps, splatters, swirls, boogies and paints her world into a brighter place. 

Can our imaginative young artist vanquish the mighty shadow of greed? Exploding with energy, surprises and giggles, and set to a quirky urban soundtrack, this is The Magic Paintbrush as never before.

The Magic Paintbrush is presented by Springs Dance Company, choreographed by Darren Ellis and directed by Nathan Stickley; produced by Artstrust Productions. R&D supported by artsdepot, Foyle Foundation and Arts Council England. 

 It is made for everyone aged 3+, and will be enjoyed by adults and children alike

You’ll be pleasantly surprised by this very futuristic production, a story which captures some timelessly important messages for our children; real magic only happens when you focus on what’s important in life, placing value on friendships, shared ideals and the beauty of human kindness
