This summer, both Young Company Summer Schools will become folktale foragers — exploring the wild edges of towns and the secret heart of the countryside to uncover forgotten tales and invent new ones.
Inspired by the book Lanny by Max Porter, we’ll explore the stories rooted in the places we live, and how they can help us see nature in new ways. What magic might be buried in our own back gardens? What can the past tell us if we learn how to listen?
Working as storytellers, performers, set designers, and sound artists, we’ll bring these tales to life using a range of creative forms: from shadow play to song, spoken word to physical theatre.
Together, we’ll dig up old magic and invent new myths, creating an original performance to share with friends and family at the end of our week.
