On Friday 8th July 2022 all three Tea Break Theatre groups came together for an end of term event. Since April they had been exploring the theme of Nature.
Each group had worked together with Bubble’s freelance artists and developed the same theme in a wide variety of ways. They had also worked together with Maia Frateantonio, a talented designer, who created set and/or costume for each group, inspired by their ideas.
The event aptly took place in Kings Stairs Gardens, behind Bubble HQ, which some of the groups had visited during the term to imagine and to create.
performance deep in nature
- The Wednesday group were interested in environmental impact and took us on a sensory journey; playing recordings of stories and quotes about nature.
- The Thursday group had explored natural elements: earth, wind, fire and water. They took us on an imaginary camping adventure.
- The Friday group had written a collective poem which they performed together. they were also interested in the types of characters that might inhabit the park (e.g. a character based on a tree, a bench, a flower...).
Refreshments
After the performances, everyone gathered to share a picnic together – refreshments are of course an important part of Tea Break Theatre sessions.
