Join us for a special creative writing workshop, inspired by our ancestors and the strength and guidance they can offer us.

Led by theatre maker and educator Jessica Litwak, we will use guided meditation and a series of writing exercises to explore the potential of our imagination and creativity. Our writing pieces will then serve as inspiration to create our own shadow puppets!

All materials will be provided, just bring your lovely selves!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The workshop will run for two hours and no previous creative writing experience is necessary. Refreshments will be provided.

You will receive a complimentary ticket to the evening performance of Matriarch for your attendance at this workshop.

This session is designed for people aged 16+.

If you have any questions about the session please e-mail Elly at elly@manchesterjewishmuseum.com
