Workshops
Stiltskin run after school drama workshops for children from 4 yrs. Right through to 16+.
Theatre, storytelling and creativity is fundamental to children and young people.
There is an Imagineer in each and every one of our children. Through creative play and drama activities children can explore the world and beyond, igniting their imaginations to construct new worlds, extraordinary characters and fantastical stories. During our sessions we devise our own scripts, retell stories and explore Plymouth’s heritage.

Through engaging in the extraordinary, we open up children’s worlds and imaginations. By imagining beyond every-day experiences we have the ability to broaden our horizons, build our aspirations and solve problems with creative solutions
