VAMOS Theatre is launching a new online playfulness and creativity course for over 55s.

Play's The Thing will run online for five weeks on Thursdays, each of the welcoming and friendly one-hour sessions is designed to get brains working creatively and collaboratively, using interactive games and exercises.

Everyone is welcome and absolutely no theatre experience is necessary.

Connecting specifically with people over 55 is something the company has been planning for a while. Creative producer Honor Hoskins said: “We have so many supporters in the over-55 age group who love the creativity and humanity of our theatre productions, and we really wanted to create something just for them.

Play’s The Thing is for anyone who would like to play, get creative, and connect with other like-minded people

"Play’s The Thing is for anyone who would like to play, get creative, and connect with other like-minded people"

"All our work champions and celebrates playfulness and making connections and we know this is especially needed right now, so it seemed the perfect thing to explore in these workshops.

"Play’s The Thing is for anyone who would like to play, get creative, and connect with other like-minded people – it really is for everyone.”

The course runs every Thursday morning from March 11 until April 8, 10.30am-11.30am. Places are limited to 20 so anyone interested in joining should book on Eventbrite at https://tinyurl.com/1lv3c25f
