Squish Space SEN/D Open Session

,Level G Studio
Squish Space Main Image

An open Squish Space workshop exclusive to Special Education Needs/Disabled children and their parents/carers.

The space is designed by artist/designer duo India Harvey and Lisa Marie Bengtsson and brings people together to learn through interaction, collaboration, and play. Using a variety of materials and tactile objects, Squish Space is a place to spin, jump, hide, touch and explore.

We are excited to offer an open Squish Space SEN/D workshop with specialised facilitator James McLaren from Head2Head Sensory Theatre. We have been trialling this workshop with lower primary SEN/D school classes across London and would love to open this up to families too with children 8 and under. The workshop is based on a sensory story travelling to space and exploring Planet Squish.

Accessibility: There is a toilet with a hoist available at Cinema 2&3.
