Looking for creative workshops for your young person to take part in this summer?

Do they enjoy acting out characters or making new stories at home?

Then come and take part inThe Imagination Station, drama and story making workshops for ages 6-11.

Across 5 weeks at Exeter Library, Helen and Juliet from Above Bounds will work with children to invent their own stories, through games, drama exercises and creative tasks, all around the theme of transport! Some of the ideas generated may even inspire Above Bounds Theatres next performance, but young people will also be given the tools to continue their story-making at home.

The sessions are a fun, inclusive and friendly introduction to storytelling.
The workshops are 1 hour long and are drama-based, practical sessions, perfect for ages 6-11.

Ideally, your young person would sign up for every session, but if you cannot attend a session, that is fine too - Just let us know so we can make the space available to another young person.

Sessions are free, but booking is essential
Please Note: Adults can accompany, or leave the room - but most stay within the Library and cannot go off-site
