Paradise Planet is a collection of ocean stories for families and children. This world of musical mayhem follows the adventures of humans who live on the waves, and the animals that live beneath them. This interactive opera celebrates the awesome power of the ocean – but things are not all as they seem and the animals are in danger. As the stories collide it's up to us to save this magical world.

Cambridge Science Festival description

Using a variety of materials, create your own layered work like Mehretu does in some of her large scale pieces. At Kettle’s Yard, explore the House and new building, thinking about these spaces as a starting point for your own collage. Work with artist Stephanie Hartick on your own artwork to take home.

Participants will be encouraged to think about the environment around them, at Kettle’s Yard, and in Cambridge, in new ways.

Tickets are £30 (£25 concessions), booking required

Artist Rachel McGivern will work with the young participants to decide the range of techniques and materials that they will use across the programme.

Previous sessions included screen-printing, block-printing drawing and animation workshops all inspired by the Kettle’s Yard collection and exhibitions.
