About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Presented by Gresswell Forest Reserve in Bundoora

Children aged 4-9 and their adults are invited to help Polyglot Theatre make a brand new interactive show - Forest. In these participatory, outdoor workshops, children and their adults will collaborate with Polyglot artists to explore the connections we have to forests, and the creatures and characters within. Together, we will rediscover the forests in the bushland at Gresswell Forest, creating and playing in the wild spaces among the trees.

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.

Age

  • Children aged 4-9 years, and their adults. Please book for all children and adults attending.

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.
  • 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.
