Parents and carers are welcome to join in or observe.About the artistYifei Ma is a theatre maker and scenographer working across theatre-making, set and costume design, and miniature-led participatory practice. Her work is visual-led, using miniature worlds, objects and spatial composition as a form of non-verbal storytelling.Moving between performance, workshops and community contexts, Yifei designs environments where narrative is produced through making, looking and arranging. Her workshops with young people and under-represented communities are integral to her artistic practice, offering alternative ways of engaging with authorship, play and shared space beyond language.This workshop is part of a public engagment programme for our artist resident scheme which means the ticket price covers only the materials.
