Weekly sessions exploring drama, improvisation and the creation of a show based on the world of Italian film director Federico Fellini.
Participants made masks and learned how to bring them to life. They also created costumes for their characters and participated in a walkabout on Kilburn High Street.
Inspired by two short stories by Murilo Rubião, the father of Brazilian Magic Realism, a group of elders 60+ will take the stage for two nights only, to perform their touching version of the tragic tales.
An Intergenerational Project for young people 18+ and elders 60+ (but all are welcome if they are 18+). During the month of August the theatre company Dende Collective will hold an open creative workspace at Penfold Community Hub for all to make masks and learn how to perform with them.
Dende Collective invites you to join our weekly improv sessions at Mayfair Library. Come and explore the art of improvisation, warm up, play engaging drama games, and let your creativity run wild. We'll also take a break to enjoy tea, coffee, and biscuits.
