Catbus

Roving performances on the Paddock

Catbus is a magical Cheshire cat bus who turns up when people are in need and takes them to exactly where they need to go! Catbus now has light up eyes, wheels that drive like a giant shopping trolley and is furnished with a furry bench seat for taking passengers for rides. However, cats are notoriously belligerent and never do what we want them to do; Catbus is an autonomous being with a mind of his own. He loves pats, catnip and naps in the sun, but does NOT like water. Catbus is an autonomous vehicle with a mind of his own.

Journaling with The Artful Bea

Sun 26 March, 5pm, at The Globe (near the Orphanage)

Have you always wanted to establish a regular creative journaling practice but struggle to get past the daunting blank page? Journaling is an invitation into the act of observing and being awake to the world. Keeping a daily diary is not only good for mental wellbeing, it’s a great way to connect with your creativity, look at the world around you through a different lens and develop a creative practice. Join me for this fun 2-hour workshop, where I’ll share some simple but effective techniques to help you develop a regular practice and open up your creative brain! At the popup Globe theatre, Now is the Summer of Our DiscoTent.
