The Latest at Blue Elephant

Since losing core funding, Blue Elephant Theatre's future is on a knife edge. If you like the work we do and want to help us continue to provide such opportunities, we hugely appreciate any donations and support. You can donate to us now here but from March 18th - 25th we will be part of The Big Give's Arts for Impact Campaign and any donations will be doubled. Our Campaign Page is here .

We have space available to hire, for rehearsals, workshops, photoshoots or anything else. You can find more details about our space under 'Info for Companies'. Please find out more by filling out our Hire Enquiry Form or emailing us on hires@blueelephanttheatre.co.uk.

Playing Up Workshops

 

Dates
Friday 21 March - Friday 9 May
Times
10:00 am, 11:30 am
Days of the week
Friday

Join us for Creative Play sessions at Elephant & Castle Community Hub!

These FREE sessions are for children aged 0 - 3 and their parents/carers.

Workshops start on Friday 14th February and will run until May. They can be delivered through Spanish as well as English. Expect lots of fun as you and your little one(s) act out scenarios and adventures which stimulate their imagination and develop their motor skills!

Please sign up here as spaces are limited! You are welcome to turn up on the day but may be turned away if there is no space so booking is advised.

Playing Up is funded by the Inspiring Elephant Community Fund and Unity Theatre Trust and spaces are intended for people who live, work or study in the Elephant & Castle Opportunity Area.

Session Times:
10am - 11am - 15 months/mobile babies - 3 years
11.30am - 12.30pm - 0 - 14 months

Please note that the space is relatively small and buggies will need to be left in a shelter just outside the room. There is no lock on the shelter and buggies are left at your own risk. The Hub is on the top floor of the building - there is a lift but it fits one buggy at a time. Our facilitators will be happy to help get children into the workshops from prams if needed, eg if you have multiples.

The woman was saying that if we’d discovered bonobos before chimps our understanding of ourselves would be very different.

Dennis Kelly's equally horrifying and hilarious play, DNA, asks us to consider human nature.

A group of teenagers get into trouble. Panicking, they bring in the school's brains to devise an elaborate cover-up, unleashing a series of twists and turns that spiral out of control and turn their teenage existence into a terrifying game of survival. As the events unfold at high pace, their friendships, humanity and their morality are put to the test.

Presented by City Academy's Debut Theatre Company.

Please note bookings for this performance are managed by City Academy, not Blue Elephant Theatre.
