The Censor at ArtPlay


  • ArtPlay Melbourne (map)

Please note this is a three-part workshop where children must attend each weekend.

Have you ever been told you can’t read this or that book? Maybe the adults said it was too scary? Or not a good book for kids?  

What if you still really wanted to read it? What would you do?

Welcome to The Censor: a world where you can read everything.   

Where you’re in control of what you choose to read.  

Where you’re in control of yourselves.

Where you’re in control of... the adults!  

In this three-part workshop series, you will form a dynamic ensemble and will get to choose what gets banned and what gets read. Theatre-makers Vidya Rajan and Cassandra Fumi will guide you through two stages of creative workshops exploring book censorship and what’s on your mind when these big book decisions get made for you. In the third stage you will work towards a sharing of ideas that you will perform to the public.

Note: This is a 6 day workshop, participants must attend all days (Saturday 27 & Sunday 28 January, Saturday 25 May & Sunday 26 May, Saturday 8 June & Sunday 9 June, 10am to 3pm each day).
