Esplanade - DAS – Introduction to Sleeping Beauty

In line with Octoburst!, Singapore Dance Theatre will captivate young audiences with an hour of magic, fantasy, fairies, princes, princesses and exquisite dancing. Featuring excerpts and highlights from December’s main production of the timeless classic, Sleeping Beauty.

SDT’s performance of the famous fairy tale celebrates not only the beauty of dance, but also the element of hope that we all embrace. This performance includes the Prologue with the Lilac Fairy, and Act III (Aurora’s Wedding) of the ballet. Presented with narration and dance excerpts, the audience will get to discover interesting facts about dance and pantomime. There will also be a special meet and greet session with the cast, for the children.

Be spellbound by the magic, the opulence and the outstanding choreography of Sleeping Beauty!

Imagine you are a character living in a world of enchantment. Come dressed in your character costume and get to take photographs with Sleeping Beauty, the Prince and her friends after the show!

Controversial Children's Picture Books

The list author says: "Believe it or not, many classics of the picture book world have been seen as controversial and even been challenged in schools and censored! While not all of these titles are necessarily on the challenged list, they often can cause some raised eyebrows and sputterings in certain circles. ^_^ And yes, there's a lot of overtly challenged picture books that aren't on this list. I'm trying to pick things that folks might not have heard of or will be surprised by." (sic)
