Spring Term: The Last Campfire
What stories would you tell if the world was ending?
Join us around The Last Campfire, an original theatre-making project where we’ll explore the power of storytelling, folklore, and collective imagination.
Together, we’ll create a world where survivors of a mysterious catastrophe gather around a campfire, sharing tales of heroes and monsters, ancient legends, and the stories that help us make sense of being human. Drawing inspiration from folktales and myths from around the world, we’ll experiment with improvisation, character creation, storytelling, and ensemble work to bring these tales to life.
No two stories are the same, and neither is the process of creating them. You’ll collaborate with fellow theatre-makers to shape an original performance that explores resilience, community, and what it means to hold on to hope when everything else falls away.
No previous theatre experience is necessary—just curiosity, imagination, and a willingness to create together.
