WE HAVE LIFT OFF!

 

The Giant Workshop Space was officially launched on Monday 7th May 2007!

 

This exciting venue will complement the work Giant already do by allowing a regular programme of creative workshops and exhibitions to take place in a space specially designed to be fully accessible and child friendly.

 

Features include a dedicated storytelling area for children and families and a training space for all those wanting to develop and share inclusive arts practice.

 

Giant kicks off the run up to summer in the workshop space with 'Outside In' a range of inclusive visual arts and drama workshops on Saturdays from 9th - 30th June 2007 for all kids aged 3 - 8 years.

NOW BOOKING

The Autumn show 'Saint Andrew and the Story of Scotland's Flag' is booking now.  We've all seen the Saltire painted on the faces of fans at Hampden and Murrayfield, but how many of us know how that famous white on blue cross came to be in Scotland's national flag?

 

There will be both drama and visual arts workshops to accompany this performance.

 

 

ALADDIN

 

TOURING NOVEMBER - JANUARY

 

Tremble!  For Nastibadman is here!

 

Only our hero Aladdin and his mum, the feisty, full-fat, Fatima Fryup, can foil his fiendish plot.  But with Aladdin trapped in a cave and Fatima falling for Nastibadman's greasiest, cheesiest chat, things could get awfully odd in all of Arabia!
