Throughout the term they will be exploring theatre’s relationship with the natural world and its potential to address environmental and climatic challenges.
They will be asking:
• What is our responsibility to the world we live in?

Working with a professional director, participants will be led through performance and acting workshops, devising and storytelling exercises and movement exploration. The group will explore fantastical narratives, characters and themes Including: Eragon, The Narnia Chronicles, The Hobbit and the Never Ending Story.
