Storm Family Workshop (2022-2024)
This sensory-friendly workshop was specially created for children with special needs, drawing inspiration from the immersive theatre production Storm.
Curator & Producer | Esther Beixuan Geng
The experience featured selected scenes and props aligned with the production’s central themes. Within a thoughtfully curated space filled with tactile and theatrical materials, children and their families were invited to freely explore and create — crafting shimmering fish from metallic plastic sheets, staging a miniature light-and-shadow show with LED lights in water buckets, or swirling translucent film to form drifting clouds. The atmosphere was one of discovery, creativity, and gentle magic.
