Blending storytelling, music, and dance, these free performances bring excerpts from P.L. Travers ' beloved stories to life through an imaginative, interactive ballet experience designed especially for young audiences. Throughout the performance, children are invited to participate alongside the dancers — imagining magical flavors, learning simple movement sequences, helping Mary Poppins search for a fallen star, and discovering how stories can leap beyond the page through movement and music.

Inspired by the whimsical and dreamlike spirit of the original books, the production combines narration, theatrical storytelling, and live dance performance in an intimate library setting. Featuring professional dancers from Convergence Ballet Company, the performances introduce children to ballet in a playful and welcoming environment while encouraging creativity, listening, and imaginative exploration.

“The wonderful thing about Mary Poppins is that the stories already feel musical and full of movement,” said Ian Parsons, Convergence Ballet's Artistic Director. “We wanted to create an experience where children could step inside that world themselves — not just by watching, but by imagining, moving, and participating in the storytelling alongside the dancers.”
