A Creature is coming to your town...
The NEST is an immersive performance for young people & their communities to co-construct a giant home for an illusive, migrating creature. Children use their own unique ideas about the creature and its identity to build, look for clues, embody characters, prop play and leave written information or artwork for other visitors. Facilitators support and deepen inquiry-driven investigation and creative play within the installation space.
What results is an immersive, inquiry-driven story space resonating the unique and pluralistic identities/narratives of participants, place and creature character to investigate welcoming "other".
