Brundibar
“I was so proud of how we went from knowing nothing about opera, to performing for an audience, in such a short time.”

Brundibar Education Project
After Eden and The Jewish Museum
Designer: Isa Shaw-Abulafia
Puppetry Consultant: Gerard Begley
Musical Director: William Vann
Performers: Chestnut Class of Kentish Town Primary School
An eight-week series of workshops with Year 5 at Kentish Town Primary working in close collaboration with the teacher and other staff towards a performance of Brundibar at the Jewish Museum in Camden as well as an in-school performance for their peers. The project was designed so that every child could find a role either as a maker, puppeteer, singer or storyteller, sometimes combining these roles.
