Monkey Baa and Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) are teaming up to run super fun, super spooky, super fantastic storytelling workshops called Terror Bites!

Terror Bites is a celebration of scary stories: the ones we love to share around a fire at school camp and spook each other with at sleepover parties. This two-day workshop will explore the concept and structure of scary stories, what makes us feel scared and what makes us feel safe again. Bring your best urban legend or your own original tale of terror and record it in our specially-constructed Terror Booth!

ATYP Tutor, Chris Stalley and Monkey Baa Creative Director, Sandie Eldridge will run these exciting storytelling workshops that will form part of the creative development of the Terror Bites production, premiering in 2021.
