Feb half term - THE TEMPEST
‘Oh wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! Oh brave new world,
That has such people in’t.’

We explored this extraordinary play of power, magic, trickery, beasts, and fairies, revenge, love, ambition, innocence, longing, servitude, and redemption - and in our Infinite Jest way we called on our thetrical story telling skills - puppetry, mask, physical theatre, stage combat, song, dance, and more - to produce our adaptation for family and friends to enjoy at the end of the week! 

Thanks so much for last week’s club. My son had a great time and it’s so lovely seeing Shakespeare brought to life for the children. 

Easter hols - Ridiculous amounts of fun solving our dinosaur WHODUNNIT! 

Infinite Jest news reader, Jester Crackers, reported that precious dinosaurs had been stolen from London's Natural History Museum. The Infinite Jest team snapped into action and trained up our brilliant young creatives as top notch detectives and over the course of five days they interviewed Steve the Security guard, Alice the palaeontologist, solved clues left behind at the scene of the crime, got into the head of a master criminal to truly understand their way of working, and ultimately concluded, correctly???, that the culprit was none other than dino-crazy billionaire philanthropist, Dino Rod. 

A sensational week!!!

May half term - FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD! A feast of a half term, devising a show inspired by all things FOODY. We opened up the Infinite Jestaurant and welcomed friends and family to our wonderful, creative sharing at the end of the week.

October half term - We've just had the best week ever! Our CREATIVE CREATURES camp was a roaring creative success in Nunhead and Leyton. The wonderful Alice Humphreys, who designs our gorgeous posters, joined us from her home in Brighton and shared her extraordinary creative skills with us. We creative incredible creatures and hilarious stories and learnt about other influential artists like Yinka Ilori, Keith Hering, Jean-Michel Baptiste, and Yayoi Kusama. We created amazing puppets and masks, as well as beautiful artwork. 

And at the end of the week we showed off our new found skills for family and friends. 

A week to remember!!
