The Silliness Show

The Silliness Show is Holly's most recent project working with Year 5 students from Stockton and Barnsley.

The Silliness Show is Holly's most recent project where she worked with Year 5 students from Barnsley and Stockton across 2 years in a co-creation process.

The Silliness Show explores what it means to be ‘silly’ and the point at which silliness and play may be removed from our lives. Following initial development workshops with young people in Stockton aged 5-15, Holly worked closely with Year 5 students to generate plot and character ideas through a series of workshops leading the creation of an interactive performance workshop and an Activity Book.
