Create your very own cosy den space to house your unique micro performance. This workshop is part of The Blank Page Project.
Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include a free lunch, drinks and snacks!
Calling all den builders and story makers! Join us to create a cosy den to house a unique performance of your own. We’ll be thinking up brand new stories based on our own ideas as we head into 2025 – think adventures, celebrations, hopes and dreams! Your den will become your very own stage, ready to tell whatever story you have in your imagination. We’ll be using theatre making techniques to get us thinking, but there’ll be no pressure to perform in front of others if you don’t want to.
The wellbeing of our young people is really important to us and time outdoors is a key part of that. With this in mind, where possible a short walk or time outdoors will be incorporated into the workshop days. This will be supervised by the staff running the workshops and will also be weather dependent. Please ensure your child has a coat and sensible footwear!
