CREATE (Camden Road Education Arts and Theatre Enterprise) are relaunching The IMAGINARIUM to get creative juices running for those who are locked away with memories and tales of items that they treasure around the house which remind them of life beyond these unprecedented times to produce Stay at Home stories. CREATE are very excited to make use of the format that we put together in 2016 for these lock down days in 2020.
We would love you to choose an object in your living space that has meaning and could be relevant for what is happening today. Create a story, poem, picture, photograph, piece of music which has meaning for you so that we can upload it on our special page here on the website. The uploads form can be found HERE and there will be an editorial decision made on a weekly basis by our editors Nell Price, Lucy Edkins and Veronica Dorset as to the items to be published.
The IMAGINARIUM is meant to inspire, be positive and reflective – we are so looking forward to see what inspiration you can come up with. Please spread this as far and wide as possible.
