THE ROCKET
OUR PLANET IS UNDER THREAT!CHAMPIONING COMMUNITY
“Our planet is under threat! The only way out is on a rocket. But there are limited seats… who gets one?” The Rocket is a co-creation project that builds on our ongoing work with refugee children living in temporary housing. The story is based on a drama game where characters have to make group decisions about what happens next.
BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER
In workshops with refugee families at several organisations in south Essex, our participants helped us to co-create a story, helping to inform our writer Sadie Davison, and debut director Maryam Noorhimli before performances at theatres.
