Playscape: How to Build a Galaxy – Try a Motion Capture Suit Workshop

Do you ever dream of wearing a motion capture suit? This is your chance! In pairs, team up to explore different space-inspired landscapes and create your own universe whilst working with the dancers from the performance earlier in the day. No prior dance or technical experience is needed.

Not able to book as a pair? Let us know and we can talk to you about matching you up with another participant! This workshop was made so that people could get to know each other, in particular young people who struggle with communication. 

This workshop can be adapted for participants with SEN. Workshop leader Katie has SEN facilitation experience, and the workshop can also be suitable with just parts of the suits being worn if needed. 

There are slots available to book between 11.30 and 16.00. 

We can’t wait to see what you make! 

Capacity: Pairs (this could be two young people, a parent/carer and child, two adults). Previously we have sold single tickets so that people can meet other local people by taking part together so feel free to list as this. Parents/carers are able to stay in the room if they want but they do not have to.
Age: 7+
Price: £9 per person (£18 for a pair)
