Find Freedom and play : With Kayleigh Cassidy
WHEN: Sat 14th March 2026 11:00 - 13:00
WHERE: Bradbury Centre (Mark Room)
COST: £30pp
This workshop is an invitation to find freedom and play. To let go of the daily stresses of adulthood and step into a zone of make believe. Using play, improv builds community by encouraging unity and allowing players to express themselves though guided scene work. Quite often negative self talk takes over and improv challenges this mindset by creating a positive place to let yourself go by fostering simplicity and showing kindness. Improv playfully activates the inner child, serving wellbeing in it’s 'yes and’ approach. This class is a mix of games, scene work and juicy conversations. A class for anyone whether you're a complete beginner or experienced practitioner, everyone will benefit from the magical energy of playing as one.
