Unlocked and Unbolted – Imagine - interactive session via Zoom at 4pm (ages 14 – 17) and 6pm (ages 18 – 21)
Last week we kicked off our new online project Unlocked and Unbolted, which asks young people aged 14 - 21 to share their voices, experiences and thoughts from the past few months. These conversations are then going to become the inspiration for a new piece of theatre to be performed by a group of young people later in the year.
In our Tuesday Zoom discussions Director Bryn Holding will guide a conversation about our imaginings of the future and how we might like to see the new normal/world - what good could come out of our situations?
