Inspired by T S Eliot’s poem, Journey of the Magi, is a festive, light-hearted, joyful event with a moving and profound message. The show offers a bridge between contemporary life and Jesus’s birth, comparing our own personal journey to Christmas day with the journey that the wise men took. All the paths that the characters take towards isolation and commercialism all ultimately end with an encounter on Christmas Day with Jesus. Images from the poetry and familiar Christmas scenes explode in a mix of laugh-out-loud funny, moving and entertaining theatre and dance. We hope to both entertain, and offer a chance to reflect and refocus. Aimed at families, the show attracts all ages, helping to encourage and awaken people’s spirituality and can help them think about who Christ is for them today. The artistic excellence displayed by the world class dancers is particularly appealing for young people that watch the show.
This performance lasts for approximately 90 minutes, plus there is a 20 minute interval, which provides the perfect time for festive mince pies! It is performed to the highest standard by a company of four professional dancers. All we need for the performance is a clear flat space of 6m x 6m, on which we lay our dance floor. Springs provides all its own lighting, sound equipment and set and we would just need 6 hours in the space to set up for the show before the performance start time. Journey of the Magi is enjoyed by children and adults alike, and can be accompanied by a workshop or series of workshops in theatre, church, school or community settings. Springs Dance Company need a fee of £850 plus travel expenses to present the show. Many venues cover this cost by charging between £6 and £12 for tickets.

“I came out having been touched, amused and moved to tears. Journey of the Magi looks beyond the tinsel and trappings and reveals the real meaning of Christmas.” David Bintley CBE, Artistic Director, Birmingham Royal Ballet
“…booking Journey of the Magi … was one of the best decisions I have ever made. There is no way that, as a church minister, I could ever have even dreamt of taking people to the heart of Christmas in the way that Journey of the Magi did.” Rev Paul Timmis
