Lights, Action, Be Creative! – workshops for P4-7 pupils

Overview

‘Lights, Action, Be creative!’ 

What are all the different departments we need to make a movie? We need lights, costumes, colourful set designs and a good story to bring it all together. In this 4 week block of active sessions for Primary 4 to 7 pupils with professional artist Tina Foran, children will get a chance to explore the different aspects of movie making and make their ideas come to life. This series of workshops focuses on the design aspects of movie making. 

Each session will be from 3.45pm to 5pm in the Heart of Hawick Cafe mezzanine. Parents are encouraged to stay in the building during each session however facillitators do have their relevant PVGs. The Heart of Hawick cafe is open until 9pm on a Thursday. 

Cost: £5 per session. Each session ticket includes a drink & snack. Please email artservice@liveborders1.org.uk if your child has any dietary requirements/allergens.
