Creativity from Nothing

Robert Lane and Dr. Emma New

Genre: Workshops Duration: 135 mins Price: £7 (+ booking fee) Age: 18yrs+

Get in touch with your inner creative and explore “creativity from nothing" in a fun, supportive environment. We will be exploring drama, comedy, and improv and considering how these skills can be useful and nurturing in day-to-day life. Let yourself try something new and let your inner critic take a backseat as you grow your skills, stories, and silliness.
