How to make a piece of theatre for young audiences

In this workshop, explore the guiding principles Paul and John apply when making a piece for young audiences, the pivotal role director Ian Cameron (White) plays in the process, the importance of collaborative practice and integration of design elements  and, most importantly, how children contribute to the story.
