Banbury theatre company offering free workshops this weekend

The Cherwell Theatre Company is offering some free online workshops for young people, which are linked to their Tell Your Story Festival project.

Early years children and their families can join in with brilliant puppeteer and performer Emma Boor as she 'Plays the World' in this birds themed Zoom session from 11 to 11.40am on Saturday April 17.

Ages 4-11 can join the weird and wacky world of 'Madame Zucchini' as she makes puppets from vegetables and helps participants bring them to life! The workshop is 2 hours in duration and runs from 10am-11am and 11.30am-12.30pm on 17th April.

Ages 11+ can join CTC's first ever online choir, led by Daniel Pate from 1 to 2pm on Saturday April 17. They will learn and perform a beautiful arrangement of the song 'Driver's Licence.

Finally, the amazing Georgia Tillery-Randak leads a mask workshop for ages 11+ from 2.30 to 3.30pm. Participants will create their own masks and devise a silent performance together, again- all over Zoom.

If young people and their families would like to sign up to take part, they need only email [email protected]. They will send you the form to sign up and the Zoom links to attend the workshop.
