Joss Arnott Dance presents a magical new retelling of a classic story, seen through the rusty
eyes of the Tin Man and their journey to finding their heart and happiness.
This visually-stunning dance production for families and children aged 7+ explores a
re-imagined story of this much-loved character’s encounters with the Witch in the deep dark
wood, and the new friendships the Tin Man forms with a Scarecrow and a Lion along the
way.
Told with brilliant humour and touching pathos, TIN MAN entertains both children and
adults alike with its enchanting storytelling, dramatic choreography, stunning costume and
lighting designs, all accompanied by newly commissioned music by award-winning composer
Anna Appleby.
