What's On
Here are our current and upcoming projects and exhibitions.
Speech Bubbles: Schools Workshops
What: Creative Drama Workshops for Schools
Where: Wandsworth
When: January 2025
Speech Bubbles offers a unique space for 5-7-year-olds to build confidence, enhance communication skills, and spark their creativity. Through weekly small-group drama sessions, children will explore storytelling and self-expression in a fun, supportive environment. Each session is led by a specialist drama practitioner alongside a member of the school’s support staff, ensuring a tailored experience that encourages playful learning.
These workshops are designed to tap into children’s natural instincts to play, tell stories, and express themselves in an engaging and positive way.

"There isn’t enough happiness in the world at the moment. Coming to these sessions feels like heaven. I feel free to express my emotions, share my ideas and am open to everyone else’s thoughts. It is a safe and friendly environment. You couldn’t have made my life any better, because without it, I would be lost."
