Then What?!

  • Family and kids
  • Theatre

Once upon a time, before tablets, phones, computers, books, pens, pencils, or even tools to carve things into stone, there were storytellers. These super special people would make up adventures on the spot, leaping, ducking, dancing and jumping around to help get the amazing stories out of them.

Then What?! is your chance to be one of these very important people! Run, fly, squirm, giggle and shout as we tell stories together, learning the secret to all stories, and going on wild adventures!

Then What?! is a workshop where children become the artists, the emerging storytellers, the emerging writers. What will they have to say?

Age: 5 to 7 years

Artists: Created by Tom Holloway and children at ArtPlay

Presented by ArtPlay as part of the Emerging Writers Festival
