The Hunted: performance and Glow resources from Visible Fictions

Leave a comment

Visible Fictions presents

The Hunted

Wed 12th October at the Palace Theatre

1.30pm

£5 for schools (1 in 10 go free)

“There are paths you should not leave.

There are dreams you should not dream.

There are beasts in the forest that know your name”

A lone girl dares to be something nobody else has been – in a place nobody dares to go.  In a wood.  With a wolf. But when we’re told not to go – we go. Even if what we find turns our world upside down forever.

Visible Fictions will offer school groups an insight into their new production, The Hunted. Through the Glow network pupils will be offered access to the creation of the piece through interviews with the creative team.  A post show discussion with the actors will take place when the production visits the Palace Theatre.  Teaching resources will be available to download from our website from August.

If you would like more information about the production contact Paul Gorman, Head of Education and Participation on 0141 221 8727

Kids get doodling to feel happier and healthier

Leave a comment

Through a partnership with local secondary schools, East Dunbartonshire Council and local mental health charity East Dunbartonshire Association for Mental Health, first year school pupils were tasked with doodling away to their hearts content to celebrate ‘National Doodle Day’.

The event focused on ‘changing minds’ – looking at how positive mental health and well being are important in making minds happier and healthier.  First year pupils were asked to doodle about something they like to help their mind and body get healthy and happy. Each school chose a winner and the winners were put into a grand prize draw which was won by a pupil from Bearsden Academy.
