Tiny tots can attend Lullaby: Sonic Cradle, a multimedia music experience inspired by Indian lullabies for ages 0 and up. Giggle at the slapstick absurdity of Trash Test Dummies, or the puppet madness of Troll, a one-man show for 8 year olds from New Zealand. Get in on the action with the Roald Dahl Revolting Rhymes and Dirty Beasts workshop. Actors will coach 6 to 10 year olds in performances of their own. Teenagers can also develop short horror and scary films at specialised Haunted House workshops.
