Tiny Tales from around the World is a new project by Bounce Theatre for 2012.
Based in Hounslow, the company will be running a series of projects with different groups within the community. They will collect ordinary stories of friendship and great adventures, weaving together ordinary stories into an original, innovative piece of drama - culminating in a series of showcases to welcome in the Olympics.
Projects include:
Youth Theatre
Tiny Tales will form two new youth theatres. One for 6-9 year olds on the Meadows Estate on a Monday. A second will be available for 8-12 year olds in Feltham on a Wednesday. Both will run after school.
Older Peoples Theatre
The company will be running an over 55s theatre company on a Wednesday. This will be complimented by a Reminiscence project for the over 80s, by invitation.
Intergenerational Residency
Included in the project will be an interdisciplinary arts residency with students from Feltham College and Age Uk.
Creative Homes
Bounce are proud to be partnering with Homestart Hounslow to create storytelling workshops with families.
Full details of the project will be released in January 2012, but if you'd like to express your interest in participating or find out more, please contact us.
All the children were able to engage with the workshops at their own level and some fantastic stories have been written since!
