Come along for a 45min in cinema workshop with author Chitra Soundar, followed by a creative drop-in session.

In the cinema at 12.30pm, award-winning author Chitra Soundar will be hosting a workshop to help you build your own adventures and discover your creative voice. Chitra is an author, writer of kids TV, audio and theatre. She has published over 60 books for children of all ages – and is the creator of the hugely popular Nikhil and Jay series.

 

And from 1.30pm, drop into the SAIL Salon in the Cinema Café – an informal session for young audiences to relax, engage and create, with the SAILFest authors and illustrators on hand to offer prompts or chat to you about translating your imagination to the page.
