About Us

We run theatre workshops for kids in the Alpujarra mountains in southern Spain. Helped by a group of very willing parents (!), we write our own scripts for stage productions of well known stories or songs... or we make up our own material. Our plays are based on music, movement & dance and we aim to help kids work as a group, to commit to a project, to boost confidence and to overcome shyness.

Workshops are run by Anna Kemp and Jana Sánchez. Anna was born in Britain and studied English at Oxford. She moved to Spain after graduating and has been living there ever since. She worked  for several years as a script supervisor in the Spanish film and TV industry, before moving to the Alpujarras with her partner, Pablo, in search of a slower pace of life - and somewhere (with plenty of fresh air!) to bring up their 3 kids. 

They started the Dragón Mágico Association with their friends from the village, Jana and Jose Carlos, and the four of them muck in as and when needed to write, produce and act in productions, helped by an ever-growing number of people from the local community. 

Anna and Pablo are now based in Madrid but Anna continues to run workshops with Jana.  This year, they are turning their hand to adults!


Somos una grupo de madres y padres aficionados al teatro que lleva más de tres años trabajando con niños de La Alpujarra en Granada (España). A través del teatro tratamos de enseñar a los niños a trabajar en grupo, a explorar su creatividad y a vencer la timidez. Trabajando siempre con guiones originales, nuestras obras se basan en los colores, la música y la expresión corporal.
