Theatre Porto
This was a creative project involving nine workshops through six primary schools in Ellesmere Port. Children explored their own unique qualities by crafting playful, imaginative similes - vivid comparisons that capture who they are in fun and unexpected ways.
From “I am as silly as an elephant on a skateboard” to “I am as bold as the sun,” these words became the inspiration for bold, collages made from coloured paper, scissors, and glue. Each collage expresses the energy, colour, and personality behind the simile it represents.
The project culminated in a large-scale mural that I installed in the stairwell and foyer of Theatre Porto. A selection of the children’s original artworks was carefully recreated in vinyl to create a vibrant, swirling piece that celebrates children’s voices and creativity, making their ideas visible in a public space dedicated to children and young people.
Thee mural stands as a joyful reminder of the power of play, imagination, and self-expression - and the importance of giving children a place to be heard and seen.
