Future Feast: creative workshop series
Presented by NORPA, we have invited local primary students to take part in Future Feast — a creative learning journey that nurtures imagination, connection and care for the Earth.
Guided by professional artists in Drama, Dance, and Visual & Video Arts, students engage in hands-on workshops that explore themes of disaster, resilience, and renewal. Through movement, storytelling, and collaborative performance-making, they draw on their lived experiences and hopes for the future.
At the heart of Future Feast are the voices of young people. Through hands-on creative practice, students reflect on their relationship to community and Country while building skills in collaboration, expression, and reflection.
Their artistic responses will also contribute to a broader regional dialogue, feeding into NORPA’s major creative project for the year — Dinner Party at the End of the World, a powerful multi-artform work inspired by community responses to natural disaster.
Teachers are supported throughout with curriculum-aligned resources and opportunities for professional learning alongside experienced artists.
This is more than a creative arts workshop — it’s a shared imagining of a better future, made possible through creativity, care, and collective action.
Future Feasts received funding from the Australian Government through the Northern Rivers Recovery and Resilience Program, administered by the NSW Reconstruction Authority, and delivered by NORPA.
Future Feasts also presented in partnership with the Diocese of Lismore Catholic Schools Office – NORPA’s Education Partner.
