Climb Aboard is a participatory workshop for 3-6 year olds which explores transition, memory and family history.
It’s moving day and Jim and Grandma are accidentally locked in the attic. While they wait to be rescued they explore the precious things waiting to be found; from Grandma’s life as a girl in Jamaica, to Jim’s more recent past and to the exciting future ahead. Through an exciting mix of creative play and storytelling the children help Jim to embrace the changes in his new life, whilst joining him on a journey back into his heritage.
