PUFFBALL PROJECT – Roundhouse Theatre

The Roundhouse are running a FREE 6-week performance and media project for 16-25 year-olds not currently in education, employment or training and who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and / or Questioning (LGBTQ).
Working with award-winning artist Mark Storor and leading media producer Nicola Prestage and a professional circus performer, participants can choose to use storytelling, art, theatre and circus to share stories, OR use film, audio and blogging to create and showcase material online.
We are looking for people who have open minds, are willing to get involved and want to engage in an opportunity to develop their skills. No previous experience is necessary, just a interest in your chosen area. The project is FREE and lunch/travel costs will be provided.
