Description

UNDERARTS invites you to a special one-night showing of an original, Studio Ghibli-inspired performance devised and created by our Summer Workshop participants (ages 8–13).

Across four days, the group has been world-building, designing characters and creatures (including puppets!), and shaping scenes into a live performance experience.

Expect big imagination, beautiful visuals, and brave storytelling — made fresh, collaboratively, and with lots of heart.

After the performance, stay on for a relaxed celebration with the ensemble — a fun, festive atmosphere with music, a bar serving drinks, and plenty of time to mingle and celebrate what the young people have made.

Doors: 5.30pm
Performance: 6–6:30pm
Celebration: 6.30–7.30pm
