Artburst specialises in running projects for 7 – 19 year olds in the school holidays. These exciting arts workshops integrate elements of drama, music, art, and movement. Participants make their own costumes and set for a performance devised by them giving them total ownership of the final piece. Workshops usually run for 5 days and always end in a performance. The main aim of an Artburst workshop is to engage every participant in the creative process which results in the end product.
