Past Outreach Workshops

The Lost Call
July 2005date

Hijinx Outreach collaborated with the St Davids Hall Arts Active Soundworks project. The Soundworks group consist of two different groups of people with learning disabilities from all areas of Cardiff day services that undertake twice monthly music workshops.

37 adults with learning disabilities in total with their support staff came together and performed the devised piece of theatre, The Lost Call.

With only limited rehearsal time, the participants performed fantastically both performing the characters in the story and providing the enchanting music. The piece started with a shipwreck with the lost crew searching a magical tropical island in search of a way home. They met lots of different characters along the way including birds, a very big red bird, a chief and some scary snakes! Thankfully they were transported back by finding a magical musical chest.

There were lots of colourful costumes and props and some fantastic music underscoring the piece made for a truly magical devised piece of storytelling. We hope this will be an annual collaboration with St Davids Hall.
