A Journey Through Emotions
The Feelings Farm tells the story of three children who, during a trip to Kranji, find themselves lost in a place where emotions are not just feelings but landscapes to be explored. Guided by a mysterious character called Cloud, the children travel through different emotional terrains such as the Jungle of Joy, the Field of Fear, and the Swamp of Sadness.
This imaginative adventure is not just about watching a performance; it’s an invitation for families to reflect on their own feelings. The magical setting and whimsical characters help children understand complex emotions, like fear, sadness, and joy, in a way that’s approachable and fun. This is not your typical play—it’s an emotional journey that will leave a lasting impact on young and old alike.
Why This Play Matters
One of the most beautiful aspects of The Feelings Farm is how it uses music, poetry, and multimedia to help children recognise and express their emotions. At a time when emotional well-being is more important than ever, this play offers a safe space for children to explore their feelings. It’s particularly relevant for families in Singapore, as the experiences of the characters are based on real stories from local children.
By watching this play, families will not only enjoy a wonderful performance but will also gain tools to talk about emotions at home. The play encourages open conversations, allowing children to name and understand their feelings with patience and compassion. It’s the perfect blend of entertainment and emotional education, making it a must-see for families looking to spend meaningful time together.
Fun and Learning for Everyone
The Feelings Farm is recommended for children aged 7 and above, making it a perfect outing for primary and lower-secondary kids. While the play is geared towards younger audiences, adults will also find it moving and thought-provoking. The use of relatable emotions, combined with the magical setting, ensures that there’s something for everyone in this heartwarming production.
For educators, there’s even a development workshop connected to the play, helping to further explore the themes of emotional well-being and compassion in a classroom setting. It’s an excellent resource for teachers looking to incorporate emotional intelligence into their lessons.
