Get involved and creative with Norwich Theatre’s newly announced take part activities and workshops for the autumn term. The new term includes a new series of Creative Matters: Climate Stories activities developed with Norfolk and Waveney Mind, a new choir, workshops to boost your wellbeing and free sensory story time sessions throughout the summer.
The new term includes a Mind, Body, Earth programme as part of Norwich Theatre’s Creative Matters: Climate Stories, a year-long season that looks at the biggest issue of our time. The sessions seek to provide empathetic spaces where anxieties about our climate and the future can be safely expressed and explored. The programme is developed in partnership with Norfolk and Waveney Mind. The series includes Forest Bathing (14 Sep) to reconnect with nature, and movement activities, including Touching Earth with Jenny Haycocks (5 Sep) and Slowing Down to Connect with Katy Dunne (19 Sep).
With Theatre Makers: Queer Scraps (4 – 8 Sep), you can curate an unabashed expression of queer culture and identity with a community of like-minded individuals. Bring a point of inspiration that speaks to your queer experience and devise a performance based on the groups scraps. Theatre Makers: Drag, Performance & Activism (18 – 23 Sep), in partnership with Titania Trust and Joseph Ballard, is a week in-residency that will explore different elements of drag throughout history through with group tasks and performance workshops.
There is lots to do at Norwich Theatre if you want to get creative as a family including Family Ballet (4 Sep – 13 Nov), where you and your little ones can enjoy a shared dance experience led by an experienced ballet practitioner. For a playful session with your little one, why not try Sing, Dance, Play (21 Apr – 23 Jun)? These sessions will see you play with instruments and unconventional multi-sensory props, helping your little one to explore moving, dancing and playing. Sensory Story Time is a free activity and will appear in our welcoming café on Fridays throughout the summer holidays. Stop by for a coffee, pastry and some creative inspiration this summer.
