IOU Making It – Storytelling Workshop

Kamishibai, (kah-mee-she-bye) or “paper-theater,” is said to have started in Japan as street theatre in the late 1920s, but it is part of a long tradition of picture storytelling, beginning as early as the 9th or 10th centuries

This Making It workshop will open the door to creating short stories that mix illustration with performance to create narration in vivid and imaginative ways.

Edward Taylor from  the extraordinary street theatre company Whalley Range All Stars, will lead this workshop that combines physical performance using illustrations and the art of Japanese paper theatre.

Book your place for the opportunity to spend an evening with other creatives, and develop your performance and artistic skills to captivate an audience with your own visual storytelling.
