Our Artistic Director Johnny Autin, alongside Hannah Woodliffe, with the support of LADA, invites you to apply for Making Weather — a process-led, peer learning lab for 12 artists working with children and young people. Artists today face urgent challenges, from climate grief and cost-of-living pressures to stretched school capacity and the need for accessible, low-resource ways of working. Making Weathercreates space to explore these together, co-developing practical, ecological performance methods rooted in care, play and collaboration.
📅 Thursday 16 – Saturday 18 April
📍 King’s Lynn
For artists interested in ecology, movement, youth-led participatory and outdoor practices📅 Deadline: Mon 23 Feb, 6pm🔗 https://tinyurl.com/dit-making-weather
