The Literary Festival is encouraging young people to explore creativity with purpose through two events investigating youth homelessness; inspired by Lorna Tucker’s book ‘Bare’.
Young people can get involved in a theatrical debate through our Young Company’s forum theatre workshop. Forum theatre explores issues through collaboration with the audience. Following an initial performance, the audience can suggest alternative options for how the protagonist could have acted: experiences and ideas are explored to generate solidarity and empowerment.
You do not need to have had experience of homelessness or forum theatre to take part. The subject matter of the workshop may be challenging, so an open mind and empathy will be essential. Find out how theatre really can make a difference.
