Two young performers dance onstage. They hold their hands in the centre, outstretched and look at one another intently. They look a little shy but happy to be together. The performer on the left wears a white tail suit with a blue floral silk waistcoat and tie. The performer on the right wears a stunning deep blue dress with an embellished bodice and layered tulle skirt scattered with silver flowers with a silver crown in their dark hair, tied back in a bun.

A young performer sits onstage in front of a tree, surrounded by charming, colourful bird puppets: a swan, an owl, a parakeet, a jackdaw and a gull. She looks at the swan with a loving smile. She wears a light brown cotton apron, striped blue and cream skirt, a floral white blouse and a denim waistcoat with hair tied up in a scarf.

Two young performers stand onstage, looking down with emphatically disgusted facial expressions. They wear coordinated pink outfits with matching red heels and beret hats. One holds a bouquet, that looks like it's from a wedding.
