Stories have power – the power to entertain, to educate, to challenge and to change. In this workshop we’ll be tapping into our ideas, imaginations and desire for change, all through storytelling. So what is it you want to say?

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. You can share back your story through performance, words or images, and you’ll get to take home our storytelling device, enabling you to reimagine your ideas again and again. Come and enjoy a creative day where your ideas matter!
