Ages 8 - 99 | How To Grow Your Garden is an immersive story built by the performers AND the participants, exploring what it means to nurture who we are and the people we care about through the seasons of life.
Part performance, part installation, part movement workshop, this all-immersive experience is designed for pairs of people from different generations. This is for anyone and their favourite elder. Participants could be:
-A primary-aged child and their grandma/yaya/dida/aka/lola
-Siblings with a 10-year age gap
-An adult and their stepparent
-A teenager and their elderly neighbour
Be ready to be immersed in a story, move, share, play, explore, imagine and laugh.

Devised theatre is a method of creating a performance that works completely collaboratively with all artists in a rehearsal room. People attending this event will be involved in a rare experience seeing an excerpt of a devised work while the artists are mid-process of creation.
Attendance is free but bookings are essential.
Currently in development and due for production in 2025. Get in touch to discover more about How To Grow Your Garden.
