This year we are using The Jolly Christmas Postman by Allan and Janet Ahlberg as our inspiration, as that is also our family Christmas Show (adapted by Story Pocket Theatre).
We decided to use the Pop Up and Pull Out nature of the book as a vehicle and various people have started work on that.... Klara Smith has started working on a pull out scene, and Ed Butcher has begun to create a 'self opening' book - he'll be keeping us informed as to his progress on this blog.
Local primary schools will be creating small pop up cards to their favourite fairy-tale characters which will 'fly' around the gallery out of a giant post box... Brooklands college students are working on a 2D animation project after half term... so all very exciting.
We thought we would decorate the walls with cardboard doors with windows, through which you can see the silhouette of various fairy tale characters.
So today was Day 1 of trying to see how this might work... and very successful it was too... lots of ideas for creating different windows and doors.. letter boxes for kids to post christmas cards to..
