SMALL STORIES @ HOME with Leigh Tesch and Kirsty Grierson
A Small Stories storytelling workshop online at home for young children (3-6 years) and their parents and caregivers.
Come and join performers Leigh and Kirsty in an adventure you can experience in your own home as dining tables become landscapes in unknown places and you create your own puppet creatures to inhabit them. Families will be sent a video link and materials in the week prior to the workshop to create their own puppet characters. Then join the link on Monday 12 Oct session and we will share our stories in this unique experience on zoom!.
Bookings are essential by Monday October 5th. You will then receive materials to make your own puppet character in the post. $5 per ticket book at https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=636021
