DUSK & DAWN DRAMA PRESENT:
TWILIGHT TALE-MAKING

(ages 7 - 12)

Taking inspiration from the stories of the rainbow serpent itself and ideas of creation, this workshop will indulge children’s creative senses and personal expression however they desire: be it physically, hands-on creatively, or both! The workshop will be delivered through a variety of games, activities and loosely guided improvisation to create a piece of group poetry that will be presented through an assortment of performance skills covered during the course of the session.

Twilight tale-making is an interactive storytelling/making workshop that essentially will respond to the creative wishes and energies of the participants; stimulating body and mind for an hour and a half of fun and discovery. Experimenting through playing, physical theatre, movement, poetry and hands-on craft making, children will come together as a community to develop their own style of performing. As a collective creative force, the challenge will be to create a mythological creature to tell a story about their world, bringing it to life in performance and in craft to create a lasting memory.
