Thanks so much for coming @PaulCree - until next time 😏!

I had a great workshop last night with the young people from Progress Project @GreenShoesArts1

And then this-morning with @OpenWordsuk

Bit zoomed-out but they both left me feeling very positive

[Paul Cree @PaulCree]

Tomrrow, I’ll be taking part in the Britain’s Behind The Mask workshop with @OpenWordsuk

It’ll be focusing on voicing a character from the Demeter and Persephone

There’s a still a few spaces I believe if you wish to get involved

[Paul Cree @PaulCree]

As part the work I’ve been doing with @OpenWordsuk @uk_neuro and their #BritainBehindTheMask Project, I had a pop at telling my own version of the Greek myth, Demeter and Persephone
