Miriam Halahmy
SATURDAY 13th MAY
14:00 – 14:45
ROOM 8
What would you do for a stranger? This session will turn your ideas upside down as you are faced with the same question as Alix and Samir did in Miriam Halahmy’s YA novel, Hidden. They pull a strange man, an asylum seeker, out of the sea and he begs them to save him from being deported. Through drama scripts, group work and Halahmy’s juicy one-word writing exercise, you will find out just what you might do for a stranger.
