We’re delighted to also offer an exciting after care session to immediately follow the PA Day workshop. Theatre artist Liza Balkan and composer Njo Kong Kie are creating a new opera based on a very old tale about a child’s beloved doll that has suddenly disappeared – and the doll’s travels to places near and far.
The artists are looking for your help with this story!
Where might the doll travel? What do they experience? If YOU were able to travel all over, where would you go?!
This after care session will be filled with games and drawing and singing and sharing!
