Construction Site: come in!
workshop series
A series of creative workshops about how and why we build things from scratch,
in collaboration with Mental Fight Club.
If you are a community organisation or venue looking to offer drop-in creative workshops, inclusive and flexible for mixed ability groups, please get in touch.
She Goat can create and offer bespoke workshops for your community.
Here is a break down of how this series worked.
​
This activity was delivered over five free sessions in February-April 2024, at The Crypt at St Peters for The Dragon Café
With theatre-making activities and games, we explored recipes for building and imagine new structures, asking...
How do you build things– a muscle, a skill, a meal, a party, your dreams?
And what’s important about what we build– how long it lasts… who it makes a difference to… something unseen?
Let’s dig into this together!​
WHAT are the workshops like?
​
Sessions are gentle, flexible, and shaped by the people in the room.
There is a mix of group and solo activities, sometimes sitting down, sometimes moving around.
Any invitations to move can be adapted to different bodies and how folks are feeling on the day.
No drama or singing or arts experience necessary.
Participants are welcome to drop in or out at any point - join in for one game, or the entire series!
