Catch the performance at 2pm and dive into the original fairy tale of Bernard the Fool, filled with kings, queens, heroes, and villains, ensuring fun and laughter for the whole family.
Don’t miss the post-show workshop at 3.30pm, where participants of all ages can explore the magic behind the scenes through engaging theatre games.
Henshaws Arts and Crafts Centre Performing Arts Group collaboratively creates and produces original works.
They say: “This year, our focus has been a comedy fairy tale, developed through improvisation and scene work. Our participants, who often attend multiple drama sessions each week, have previously engaged in a wide range of projects, including pantomimes, adaptations of Shakespeare, and collaborations with groups like Moondust Theatre Company.
Laughter is central to our workshops, arising from the fun of improvisation and our collaborative approach. We also embed sign language into our performances, promoting inclusivity and allowing everyone to participate fully.
Our workshops at the Henshaws Arts and Crafts Centre in Knaresborough are led by skilled theatre workshop leaders. They provide a secure, supportive environment where individuals with disabilities and special needs can engage with the performing arts. Using techniques from music, movement, and theatre, we empower our participants. Projects like “The Golden Tree” showcase our commitment to creativity, community involvement, and individual expression.
Participants in our workshops not only rehearse for “The Golden Tree” but also explore new artistic challenges, experiencing the thrill of creation and the rewards of collective effort.
