    ACT 7of16:
    From 14th to 18th of November 2016, a team of creative individuals, deliberately chosen to be from different arts disciplines, get together to experiment and tryout in a workshop facilitated by Mark O’Donovan.

The end result is completely multidisciplinary, exciting and beyond what any individual can achieve.
