Water, Water, Everywhere!


Using non-verbal physical theatre to explore water, rivers - and all their slimy critters!

We have worked with students from Baginton Fields, Sherbourne Fields, Castle Wood and Woodfield Schools and Riverbank Academy on a weekly basis. Building long-term relationships with young people through the common theme of water, using Open Theatre’s practice.

The core of the Uncover / Discover programme, allowing nearly every young person to take part at some point, learning and finding joy through drama.
