The Story Within

Youth Programme

Everyone has a story to tell. What’s yours?

This summer, join a fun and creative workshop programme just for 12–18 year olds at Tramshed theatre in Woolwich!

The Story Within invites you to explore the art of storytelling in exciting ways — from visual arts to performance.

What’s It All About?

Over four creative workshops, you’ll get hands-on with visual art and performing arts activities that will help you discover how to tell your story. You’ll be guided by amazing artists: Bettina Fung, a visual artist, and Vinna Law, an actor, writer, and interdisciplinary artist.

At the end, there’s an optional sharing event where you can show your work to friends and family in Tramshed’s main theatre space!
