A discussion forum for artists and teachers (with tea and cake!)
"In conversation" is a chance to meet three festival companies and find out more about their approach to creating powerful performance for young children. How do they develop a good idea? What are the boundaries - if any? Is there an ideal way to present theatre to young audiences? How do you address the different perspectives of disabled children?
