Back from a wonderful few days in The Lakes with Bolton School's cohort of young writers - leading exploratory workshops generating script ideas for their December show! @naomilord.bsky.social

Hurtling back into participation this year with a double whammy: the first of @creatives-now.bsky.social Comedy Explorers course and then a lovely re-introduction to projects with @agencychange.bsky.social + Octagon Theatre Bolton's Cycle 2 Saturday session🕺

Today one young person, who has been struggling with their collaboration with a team member, told them 'I feel like you're the game and I just need you to tell me your coding'. What a genius analogy

All systems go with multiple project at the moment, building up to multiple sharings - but it was a delight to have the Time Bandits visit Wolsingham Primary School as part of Elysium Theatre's year-long Shakespeare Introductory project in County Durham. ⚔️📖

My most recent project with Creatives Now has been a crash course on Verbatim theatre, where the young people have interviewed small business owners/shoppers in the shopping centre. A really inspiring and smart bunch!

The Creatives Now studio in Bolton Marketplace is an absolute asset to the town, championing youth-led art + creativity. Currently showing 'some stuff' by local artist Zayd Menk
