Hello culture vulture parents,
Looking for stuff to keep your kids creative, stimulated and thoughtful in half-term?
Keen to get an evening of theatre for yourself?
We have a theatre show over half term:
I, Lord
7pm, 13-17th February
The Space, 269 Westferry Road, London E14 3RS
Simultaneously with performances at 7pm on 15th and 16th February, we are offering a parallel children's show that is totally FREE for the children of audience members!
The main show is a survivor-led piece exploring spiritual abuse and the role of spirituality in modern life. The parallel children's show uses music, art, drama and play to celebrate faith diversity, encourage healthy spiritual curiosity and connecting to spirituality in your own authentic way, and explore the roles spiritual leaders should and shouldn't play in people's lives. It aims to address the lack of focus on learning about the many faiths and cultures all around us in mainstream education, promote respect for each other's choices and perspectives, and protect against faith-based coercion and/or bullying.
The kids who have done it so far have loved it! Here's what they had to say:
"I have two religions at home and it's really difficult because they're completely the opposite. This helped me realise that's OK."
"I didn't realise there are so many religions! That was really interesting."
"I learned that we can all be our own leaders and think about God our own way."
"We never do anything like this. This was so much fun!"
"I'm sad because we're leaving!"
After booking your own tickets for the flagship show, just e-mail [email protected] stating:
- whether you are booking for 15th or 16th February;
- how many children you are bringing, and their ages;
- any access needs they may have;
- your phone number, for our assurance of reuniting you with your children after the shows on the night.
We will reply with confirmation, instructions for drop-off and collection, and answers to any questions you may have 😊
We can't wait to see you there!
