Play the Part

The Bowes Museum Co-founder Joséphine Bowes graced the stage as an actress at the Théâtre des Variétés in Paris. Celebrate her passion for performance in this interactive workshop where you’ll step into the shoes of actors, dancers and storytellers.   

Join our expert dancer Abbie in a fun supportive environment where you’ll explore movement and drama inspired by Joséphine’s theatrical life and the museum’s collection. Through games and roleplay, you’ll create your own “mini productions” and step into a starring role.  

Recommended for children aged 8-13, under 14s must be accompanied by one parent or guardian throughout the session. Taking place in the Create Space, please wear breathable, comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle. 

Please contact Alia Cruz, Learning Manager at  learn@thebowesmusuem.org.uk if you have access requirements, so the session can be adapted to suit your needs.
