Over the past 15 years, Slingsby has developed a distinctive look and feel to its theatre making. From The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy (2007) to The Boy Who Talked to Dogs (2021), each show has incorporated elements of shadow play, miniaturisation and sustained moments of image and sound. Join Artistic Director/CEO Andy Packer and Composer-in-Residence, Quincy Grant for an overview of the company, our development process and a hands-on workshop in our theatre techniques, where participants will discover how these techniques can be used in storytelling to create their own short pieces of theatre.
In partnership with Theatre for Young Audiences Ireland.
