One of PaperTIGERtheatre’s project highlights from 2011 was the launch of the ‘Boathouse Beasties’ programme for 4 - 7 year olds in rural Argyll, providing local children with an opportunity to get creative through participation in multi-artform workshops run out of the ‘boathouse’ room of a beautiful local restaurant, Inver Cottage, which overlooks a loch and castle ruins.

These images are from our first adventure in October 2011, where we explored Maurice Sendak’s gorgeous storybook Where The Wild Things Are through movement, drama, mask-making, photography and plenty of chat.
