Stories that matter.

Real people. Real experiences. Real stories. Through interviews, discussion, research and creative exploration, students investigate the voices, perspectives and issues that matter to them.

Using the stories, experiences and source material they uncover, students create performances, spoken word, writing and other creative responses. Drawing on documentary theatre, verbatim theatre and creative storytelling approaches, projects can explore contemporary issues, local communities or the people, stories and experiences that shape school life.

Along the way, students develop communication, critical thinking and creative skills as they gather information, explore different perspectives and transform real-world material into original creative work. Workshops can be adapted to different ages, themes and learning goals, ensuring all students can participate and contribute. Longer projects and workshop series can lead to performances, exhibitions, digital and living archives and other creative outcomes.
