JOURNEY OF THE MAGI
Touring to churches and schools this Advent
Share the joy and wonder of Christmas with your local community
“... a magnificent production. Our church members and their
guests were powerfully moved.”
Rev David Senior
“A wonderful production, so accessible to every
kind of audience, especially non-church goers.
Opening up the meaning of Christmas.”
Rev Novette Headley
“… the best of both worlds: a vibrant piece of
entertainment and an opportunity to step back, to
reflect, and to refocus.”
John Sherbourne, Moortown Baptist Church

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
