One-day workshop for 11-16 year olds to choose and adapt a classic scary story for the screen, run by Creation Theatre.
Creation Theatre are running a one-day filmmaking workshop for 11 to 16-year-olds at Wolvercote Primary School on Friday 30 October, from 10.00am to 4.00pm. The day is called Make a Scary Film in a Day, and it's part of their half-term programme of workshops and masterclasses for ages 7-11 and 11-16. The young people take the lead throughout: they choose a chilling classic story and then reimagine and adapt it for the screen.
Creation Theatre is Oxfordshire's largest producing theatre company and a not-for-profit charity. The sessions are led by DBS-checked staff with a first aider on site, and they use an I-CANN technique — saying a line and asking the children to repeat it rather than asking them to read — to build confidence. Each half-term week culminates in a live performance for family and friends, so there's a real sense of something coming together by the end of the run.
