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.

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.

How can we create theatre together in ways that celebrate linguistic and cultural diversity and recognise it as a creative resource?
Join Varshini Pichemuthu, Applied Theatre Practitioner and Creative Facilitator, for a practical artist development workshop exploring playful, participant-centered approaches to devising and creating work in multilingual spaces.
Drawing on Varshini’s experience facilitating with participants from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, the workshop will explore how movement, gesture, sound, play, storytelling and spoken language can offer different ways into communication and creativity. We’ll consider how we can honour the knowledge, experiences and creativity that participants already bring into the room, create opportunities for different forms of expression, and approach story-making with choice and agency at its heart.
Through practical exercises, games and collaborative devising, we’ll explore and share adaptable approaches for creating and facilitating in multilingual spaces. There will also be space to exchange ideas, reflect on our own practice and learn from the collective wisdom in the room.

Join us, in collaboration with the ADC Theatre, for this free artist development workshop with Rachel Denning, Actor & Facilitator, and Associate Artist at National Youth Theatre, exploring how imposter syndrome can impact creative practice.
Rachel has worked in Television, Film, Theatre, Radio and Education for 20 years. As a disabled actor she has experienced Imposture Syndrome throughout her training and professional work and would love to share these experiences and thoughts with others.
Whether it’s feeling that we're not experienced enough, or that we don’t have the "look", skills or background, or "type", imposter syndrome can have a huge impact on how we approach creative work and the opportunities we take. Through practical exercises, discussion, drama and playful exploration, the workshop will offer a supportive space to explore the challenges of finding your voice, stepping into professional creative spaces, taking risks and believing that you have something valuable to offer.

We have a limited number of complimentary tickets available for the event, Expanding the Gaze.
A panel exploring representation in film and television: who gets cast, who gets to tell the story and whose point of view we see.
Who gets to be the lead rather than the side character? Who gets to tell the story behind the camera? And whose perspective are we being asked to see the world through?
Expanding The Gaze is a new conversation series looking at representation and perspective across film, television and visual culture — and how the industry can move beyond the identities, bodies and viewpoints it has historically treated as the default.
For our first conversation, Redefining The Gaze: Reclaiming Who Gets to Look, we bring together three tastemakers working across different sides of the screen industry to explore what this means in practice.
BAFTA award-winning director, producer and writer Cherish "Chez" Oteka, actor, director and producer Shakira Newton and casting director Hannah Marie Williams will discuss everything from casting and character to who gets behind the camera, how people are portrayed on screen and whose point of view ultimately shapes the stories we watch.
Together, they’ll explore when they first became conscious of “the gaze” in their own work, the conventions they would like to challenge, and what changes when creatives choose to look — and tell stories — differently.
Presented by actor and producer Rosie Skuse, Expanding The Gaze is an intimate evening of film, culture and conversation, with the opportunity to continue the discussion over drinks afterwards.
