Arc Theatre worked with a group of young people with experience of forced migration to explore new ways to communicate, increase confidence and build relationships.

Arc Theatre introduced the group to a range of drama skills and opportunities in film making. Throughout the week the young people worked very hard to devise, develop and create two short comedy films responding to the themes and subjects picked at random using the 'Consequence game'. The week culminated in a celebration and presentation of the two films.
