Today the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds launched their annual Children’s Festival and we teamed up with theatre educator David Whitney to offer some activities for local schools.
We’ve been developing ways to tell stories or investigate ideas through integrated performance and visual arts. Today we took short written excerpts from a play to be staged at the festival and worked with the children in fast moving activities that used freeze frames and drawing to imagine what happened before and after the event described.
On June 11th there will be a full day of visual arts activities and theatre exploration for families.
