IN THE BEGINNING…
AUDIO DRAMA SERIES FOR CHILDREN
Supported by the Audio Content Fund
Broadcast on Fun Kids Radio 2022
In The Beginning… is a collection of creation stories from around the world, adapted and dramatised for audio as an immersive listening experience for children (and adults!).
Written and produced by Lucia Scazzocchio and Hawa Khan (Sonomatapoiea), this multi-cultural, multi-voiced, narrated and dramatised series of creation myths and stories from around the world addresses the most profound human questions: Who are we and Why are we here? Adapted for young listeners, the adventures of the, powerful gods, mythical creatures and crafty animals that inhabit these ancestral tales provide insights into these deep philosophical questions, as well as celebrating and nurturing a deeper understanding of some of the ancestral cultural traditions and beliefs that are still very much alive today.
In the Beginning… brings ten of these ancestral tales to life.
These stories transport us through the cosmos and into dreamtime, down a golden chain and through nature’s arc where we meet animals, gods and spirits – the makers, shapers and creators.
Supported by the Audio Content Fund and broadcast from 13th July to 18th September on Fun Kids Radio
