We are delighted to present an exhibition of illustrations by Tea Bendix, inspired by the collection Danish Folk Tales by storyteller Svend-Erik Engh. These black and white illustrations are shown together for the first time and give each story another dimension and are full of surprises, just like the stories!
A princess finds her freedom in becoming a prince; Viking ships carry future kings to their destiny; a coastal town miraculously survives a flood of waves three metres high and a mermaid's laugh brings fortune to a fisherman...
Tea Bendix is a Danish illustrator, author, graphic designer and live drawing performer, based in Copenhagen. She graduated from the Danish School of Design and works across different media, including picture books, non-fiction, apps, children’s radio and drawings for TV as well as concerts that combine drawings and visual narratives in collaboration with dancers or orchestras.

Scottish Storytelling Centre, until 2nd March
MIX UP REVIEWS:
Stewart - ★★★★
"A fantastic little exhibition that really gets the imagination running. The illustrations have a real sense of flow and movement like we're catching a glimpse into a busy part of a story. Each drawing also comes with a virtual link so you can hear some of the tale behind the picture or you can pick up the Danish Folk Tales book at the shop. Which we did and will be using to inspire our Folk Tales from Around the World holidays camps this year. So worth catching, especially if joining one of our camps this year!"
Make sure you have booked in for the latest DRAMA CLASSES at Mix Up Theatre throughout Scotland and Online :)
