Description
The Bridge is an evolving project, beginning with a series of hands-on creative workshops, shaped in response to the young people in the Multicultural Youth Tasmania (MYT) Drop-In program.
Over seven weeks, participants collaborated with Terrapin artists to explore storytelling and puppetry through stop motion animation and shadow play. Participants shared stories about being part of Drop-In: their joys, their challenges, and what life in Tasmania feels like. The workshops were designed to build relationships, resilience and communication skills.
