In the forest, tiny worlds meet giant worlds. Our imaginations breathe and our senses awaken. We talk underground. We whisper above. Listen. How does the forest call to you?
Bookings are now open (via Eventbrite) for our Forest outdoor workshops, taking place at Gresswell Forest Reserve on Saturday, 10 May across two sessions. Children aged 4-9 and their adults are invited to help Polyglot Theatre make this brand-new interactive show.
In these participatory workshops, children and their adults will collaborate with Polyglot artists to explore the connection we have to forests, and the many creatures and characters within. These workshops are part of an extended creative process, and will contribute to the final show.
Please note: Both sessions (10am - 11am; 12pm - 1pm) on Saturday 10 May are being photographed, and families will be asked to sign a Polyglot release form on the day. Sessions run for 60 min. Meet at Greenwood Reserve Car Park in Bundoora at 10am or 12pm. As a group, we will make our way to the workshop space in the forest.
Accessibility
Program and Opportunity Access
• These participatory workshops will take place outdoors. We create and play with respect for the natural spaces we are in, and the plants, insects and animals who live there.
• Please check the weather, and dress appropriately. Please wear closed-toe shoes and full-length pants, and bring sunscreen, hats, raincoats and water bottles. Shoes and pants will keep you and your children safe from any critters that call the forest home.
• When you come to a Polyglot workshop, we recommend you wear comfortable clothing that allows you to enjoy moving. Remember that you have come for an adventure and there are many ways to begin finding your play. You are curious and this space is yours. Just as you might at the beach, do you take your time and dip your toe in to warm up, or do you run and jump right in? The worlds we set up welcome you to take your time and find your own way to your imaginative play; and our performers are there to join you, or play alongside you, and look after these worlds and their inhabitants. See you soon!
• There may be uneven ground surfaces, and unexpected weather conditions (sun, rain, wind).
• Please contact Polyglot Theatre on info@polyglot.org.au or 03 9826 3301 if you have specific access requirements or questions.
