Step into a world where children take the lead in a fun and interactive performance workshop designed just for them. This event invites kids aged 8 to 12 to express themselves through music and character creation, sharing their thoughts on everyday challenges like bedtimes and screen time.
The workshop encourages children to voice their opinions in a supportive environment, making it a perfect opportunity for your child to build confidence and creativity. It's a chance to see the world from a child's perspective, turning the usual advice-giving on its head.
Expect a lively, imaginative session guided by talented artists Julie Ritchey and Jodie Rottle, where your child will be part of a creative process that is both original and evolving.
