Writing Workshop for Children

Ever written a poem for a fish? Or designed your very own video game universe? In this 90-minute writing workshop, participants try two playful exercises that use writing to look back on the themes from the plays at the Connections Festival 2026.

The workshop will be led by Zui Kumar-Reddy. Zui is a writer, editor and workshop facilitator with a background in biology and an MA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia, where she was the first Sonny Mehta India Scholar. Her short story `Kamal and the Bad Superimposition` was shortlisted for the Guardian and 4th Estate Short Story Prize, and her work has appeared in Out of Print, Kitaab and Homegrown.

Age Range: 11 to 14 years

Note: This workshop will be conducted in English, with Kannada translation.

Note: This workshop ticket also gives you a free entry to any one of the one play happening on the day - Mia & the Fish at 7:30pm.
