This workshop is open to young people aged 18+.
Calling all emerging theatre makers, students, creative facilitators, and actors!
Discover the power of African storytelling and the universal power of personal stories in this dynamic, hands-on workshop led by award-winning producer and writer Lydia Idakula.
In this workshop, you will explore how personal experiences, history, culture and imagination can be transformed into compelling stories. Through conversation, creative exercises, film, writing and group discussion, you’ll explore themes of identity, belonging, memory and imagination, uncover the themes that matter most to you and begin developing your own original story idea.
Whether you’re an aspiring writer, performer, theatre-maker, or simply someone with a story to tell, this workshop offers practical tools for finding your authentic voice while introducing you to the richness and diversity of African storytelling traditions. No previous writing experience is required – just curiosity, creativity and a willingness to explore.
Expect an inspiring, welcoming and interactive session where you’ll connect with other creatives, share ideas in a supportive environment and leave with fresh inspiration for your own creative journey.
Come ready to write, reflect, create, and discover that every great story begins with the courage to tell it.
