Storytelling in the Garden
A Children’s Theatre & Nature Workshop
Storytelling in the Garden is a workshop series happening in September at the Fredericton Botanic Garden. These workshops are intended to teach children the basics of theatre while using the nature surrounding us for inspiration! Each workshop, we will explore a few storytelling skills while also learning about a natural element featured in the gardens. This workshop is all about re-igniting a love for nature by slowing down, observing our surroundings with all of our senses and exercising our inner creativity.
INFO SESSION:
We will be at The Fredericton Public Library on SUNDAY, AUGUST 23rd from 1:30-2:30. We will be playing games and answering any questions about the upcoming workshops. Participation in the info session is free! Please let us know at admin@solochickenproductions if you plan on attending.
