MANIC WORKSHOP: Writing From Our Favorite Objects at The Cloak and Dagger
See event details

A event held at The Cloak and Dagger on Saturday 9th July. The event starts at 12:30.


Do you spend a lot of time talking to your plants? Do you like to imagine that your stuffed animals also enjoy the new reality tv show you started? In this workshop, Raina will be leading you through a series of puppetry and writing exercises to explore how the things we own can be used for devising new pieces of literature and performance. Based on their work devising their solo show MANIC, this workshop will give participants an opportunity to get silly and create a new piece of work! A great space for artists of all levels and mediums to experiment and play.

The workshop runs roughly an hour and a half
Please bring pen, pencil, and 1 object with you to the workshop
