Doesn’t matter if you are a newbie or pro\, just wear some comfy clothes and come along. \nSessions are free but we ask that you leave a donation in the bucket at the centre if that is possible. \nIf a donation is prohibitive\, please do not let that put you off – art needs to be accessible for all of us. \nAbout the organiser: \nBeckah (they/them) is a theatre maker/facilitator and genderqueer person.
