All Things Big and Small
Dive into a world of wonder where big meets small in unexpected and magical ways! Inspired by Fern Gully, Billy and the Minpins, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, this holiday theatre workshop invites young performers to explore hidden realms and new perspectives. Through guided creative play and story development, participants will create a world where giants and tiny creatures collide, and build skills in confidence and storytelling. Under the guidance of a professional theatre director, participants will devise a short performance piece. Perfect for those ready to see the world from a different point of view – a fresh look at the world from every size and angle!
