Into the Forest

Step into a world-building creative workshop with YA author Asmaa Jama, who will guide you in creating your own myths and legends.
Using key elements from well-known myths and stories (a hero, a hero’s journey, an obstacle they face, and overcome), we will co-create our own.
With opportunities to record story elements using a zoom mic, or drawing out parts of the story on paper, this workshop enables you to enrich your newly created world with vivid descriptions, using a multidisciplinary approach.
We’ll wrap up with a small sharing moment of our creative responses through drawings, text and even soundscapes.
This event is ideal for ages 12+.
