WORKSHOPS FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Roots Mbili Theatre has experience delivering theatre and storytelling workshops to young people, vulnerable groups and marginalised communities. These workshops use artistic techniques to empower people to tell their own stories, learn collaborative skills and nurture creative communities.
We are currently developing and refining our workshop community engagement model to ensure it is bespoke to individual groups and best serving communities with diverse needs especially where there are significant barriers to the arts e.g. lower-socio economic, people living with disabilities, people with lived experience of displacement/the asylum system.
Please contact us if you would like to discuss workshop facilitation. We are also open to delivering workshops alongside our touring productions.
