A Fun Drama & Interspecies Cross-Dressing Project for the 50+ Explore your inner bug, plant, and fungi!

Over two months come and explore your inner bug, plant, and fungi in this fun drama & interspecies cross-dressing project. Inspired by the world of gardens and all who inhabit it, you will create characters and costumes to match. There will be a final sharing on a date in April to be confirmed which could be a fashion show, a cabaret event, or a film. It all depends on how the sessions go.

You will be supported by a drama and a visual artist.

This project is part of project Grow Green – Grow Well where Dende Collective and HCGA - Health Community Gardening Activities are collaborating on a yearly project integrating gardening, drama and arts funded by the Westminster Healthy Communities Fund.

This project precedes the gardening activities which will start in April and run till the end of the year.
