Celebration Festival
The event was a Travelling Light and Show of Strength collaboration for families, friends and children aged 8 years+
The Festival took place at the Create Centre, Hotwells on the weekend of Sat 10th & Sun 11th April from 10am - 5pm
Eighteen short plays were performed on three different levels of The Create Centre. Everyone who came was given a map which they used to explore and search out where the different plays were happening.
This event has come out of the huge success of previous Show of Strength projects such as WAITING and TRADE IT! and Travelling Light's young writer's project SHORT SHARP SHOTS.
