Empire of Evil: Holiday Program

  • Family and kids
  • Workshop

A full-day story writing workshop devoted to nefarious organisations and empires!

Whether it's ancient empires, the modern world or the far-flung future – empires and organisations tower over everyday life. The problem is, they don't always have the best intentions. Some of them are just pure evil.

Join the team at Story Studios as you construct dominions, dynasties, empires and organisations, wrap them in false facades and populate them with vile villains. What kind of characters want to expose these fake empires – an altruistic detective? Maybe an antihero with complex motives? Or perhaps someone's tearing it down from the inside? Whatever criminal syndicate, shadow network or intergalactic mafia is causing trouble, no empire is too evil for a story of your making.

For ages 10-14 years.
