A trilogy of teenage myth and transformation.

Created with a company of teenagers, Bernadette and other Teenage Folk Tales is a surreal exploration of adolescence, folklore, and the stories we tell to survive the dark corners of growing up.

Spoken word, movement, live music and animation combine to create new worlds where the boundaries between myth and reality blur. 

And so, we invite you into a world of storytelling where folklore is not just fantasy, but a necessity in the face of an uncertain future.

Join The PappyShow for a practical workshop exploring their approach to creating and devising performance.

CLICK HERE TO RESERVE A SPOT

Looking to get an insight into new ways of making theatre? Join The PappyShow for a practical workshop exploring their approach to creating and devising work.

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from a company who are at the forefront of physical theatre and collaborative work, thinking carefully about the stories we tell and how we tell them.

When you use your voice and lived experience to create, you are giving the world a gift that only you can give. So celebrate yourself and your ability to create something beautiful and unique. The PappyShow's approach centres Joy and Play thinking specifically about carving out spaces to lean into these experiences.

Through this workshop, you will gain a better understanding of how these approaches can be used to improve your own work and movement experiences.

This workshop is suitable for adults of all levels. No previous theatre-making/performing experience necessary. Performers, Directors, Teachers, Makers, Dancers, Writers, Devisors, Movement Directors and those curious to start creating.

Restoke are hosting this free workshop as part of our Moving Roots collaboration with The PappyShow who will be recreating their show What Do You See? in Stoke-on-Trent.
