The Dunedin Ice Skating Club will present three performances of Alice in Winterland at the Dunedin Ice Stadium.
More than 150 skaters, ranging in age from 3 to 65, will take part in the annual ice spectacular, at 4pm on Saturday and 1pm and 3.30pm on Sunday.
''It's Alice in Wonderland with a bit of a twist. There are a lot of amazing costumes and characters, like adults dressed up as caterpillars,'' co-director Ashleigh Black said yesterday.
''Skating is not all about competitions. It's also about telling a story for others to enjoy. The skaters love the opportunity to express their creativity, as well as their skating skills.''
The Snow Queen will be played by five-time New Zealand champion Morgan Templeton, while New Zealand representative Zara Anthony-Whighan (12) will play Alice.
Alice in Winterland follows Alice on a journey through a magical winterland, in which she meets the Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the March Hare and a menagerie of flamingoes, hedgehogs and other fantastic creatures.
