Brave Bold Drama are touring The Discovery Lab as part of the Artsreach creative summer programme. It is home to Kela, Orchi and Amar, travelling aliens on an Earth exploration mission . They come in peace and are extremely invigorated by Earth science, be it plants, bugs and clouds, why things float or the pH of lemon juice. They re keen to learn more, so children aged six and above are invited to pop along to their pop-up lab to investigate, explore, think and wonder about the biology and environmental science underpinning everyday things spotted at home or outdoors. The workshop has been devised as an interactive family activity, brought to life with energetic storytelling and performance.
