Mystery Bag (by MakeyUppers)

MakeyUppers’ Mystery Bag

CSI (Curious Story Investigators) Rita Book and Goodie Reed have stumbled upon a long lost mystery bag and need help in their investigation to discover who owns it and how it ended up so lost for so long.

“An interactive performance of storytelling and craicunlike anything you will have seen before!”

Sorcha Shanahan and Gemma Walker-Farren are experienced actors and facilitators who will lead this interactive performance in character as ‘Curious Story Investigators’. 

They arrive with a ‘mystery bag’ of objects which will form the basis of a prop-based storytelling workshop. The participants are guided through various steps towards making up a mini story about who owned the ‘mystery bag’ and where it came from. This story will then inspire an original spontaneous performance lead by the two actors with the participants providing additional dialogue and sound effects, etc.
