Description

Barnstorm's objective of Create a Story was to engage with its children's audience and include their input in creating a piece of theatre, alongside Barnstorm’s creative team.

The project is a partnership with Poetry Ireland’s Writers-in-Schools Scheme.

Writers Martina Murphy and Terry McDonagh explored the art of writing and developing pupils' writing skills, with 4th and 5th classes of four Kilkenny schools (St Canice's Co-Ed, Kilkenny; Marymount NS, The Rower; Scoil Naomh Bhríde, Ballyragget and Scoil Bhríde, Paulstown).

The culmination of the writing and devising stages of this project was a dramatic presentation called Lost in the Forest. It was presented in The Barn in 2010.
