The workshop will be a taster of the Tell Me A Tale course that is designed to inspire, improve and connect others through the act of storytelling.
In this fun workshop, we will explore how we can utilise imagination, purpose and structure to devise theatrical stories using both words and movement.
At the end of the workshop, you will be better equipped with these tools that can aid actors in texts/monologues, speakers in oratory skills and poets in performance.
No Experience Necessary – Please come prepared with clothes to move around in.
This workshop is open to London based Young People aged 18 – 30 who have lived experience of, or may be facing, challenging or unstable life circumstances. (This includes those who are care leavers, young carers, experience of homelessness, living in temporary or unstable housing, not currently in employment, education or training, or in receipt of Universal Credit).
