About this event
Join theatre maker Sian Burford-Thomas at Gainsborough Community Library and create your own summer of dreams! This is part of O Projeto Página em Branco which offers high-quality creative workshops for 10-16 year olds during the school holidays.
Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include lunch, drinks and snacks! Book this workshop on Eequ.
Come along to make sense of our abstract dreams through theatre, stories and craft! We’ll gather our dreams into a big melting pot with which to create some brilliantly abstract stories. We’ll bring these to life through building craft based worlds and narratives which can be performed live or recorded.
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. Come and enjoy a collaborative, creative day where your ideas matter!
