The emphasis is on exploration, enjoyment and play to promote confident approaches to the practice of drawing.

If you think that you can’t draw, then this workshop is for you. And if you can draw, this is also the workshop for you.

Valkyrie

Crafted from recycled plastics, Valkyrie is a huge suspended glowing orb which responds to sound and voices. Inspired by the Northern Lights, you can create your own aurora by speaking into the sculpture, creating new colours to ripple across its icy surface.
 

In addition to public interaction, there are also some short performances taking place under the sculpture.
 

6.30 & 7.15pm: Leeds Playhouse’s Youth Theatre reflect on our place in the cosmos, how we can sustain our planet and what it means for the future.
 

Dreaming Being

THABO weaves together music, storytelling and immersive installation to transport you to other realms. His multi-sensory Bantutronic dreamworlds reference the rich cultural life of the African Bantu peoples and the encounter between a dream and a human being.
