Join us for two workshop performances about migration and diaspora from Hong Kong. Use interactive storytelling and crafts-making to share your more-than-ordinary stories of home and migration. We will be running two workshops, the first, a paper model workshop with Jacob and the second, a milk tea/coffee brewing workshop with Boing. You can choose to attend either one workshop or both.

BE RIGHT BACK is a performative workshop series about migration and diaspora. Join us in sharing our experience through "performative making" and explore:

Where is home?

What makes a place a home?

How can we build a community together and share our common experience of being an immigrant in Europe?

JACOB’S VERSION (PAPER MODEL MAKING)

Times: 11:00-12:30

13:00-14:30

Come and build paper houses with us - part playful storytelling through scaled 3D-printed miniatures and maps, part interactive model-making, come explore with us through the lens of children in perceiving the uncertainties of a daunting world much larger than them.

Audience Choice Award winner at Stockholm Fringe 2023.

BOING’S VERSION (MILK TEA/COFFEE BREWING)

Times: 16:00-17:00

19:00-20:00

As an experienced actor yet working as a barista in London to make ends meet, Boing searches for the perfect recipe for coffee and milk tea and the performativity of brewing to create an aromatic retelling of his own migration journey.

Note: Participants will get the chance to drink the beverage brewed by themselves and the performer. Cow’s milk and oat milk options available.

Tickets: £5
