The Rogues Hideout

January 26, 2016 7:27 pm

Hidden away in the corner of Bearded Theory festival is a small creative safe hold perfect for children and teenagers. A place for creativity with no limits.

In this space there will be a series of workshops in which Rogues can learn to DJ, build-a-band and graffiti.  All of which are fun and transferable skills.

Rogue DJs – Rogues get the chance to DJ with a professional DJ. Rogues can learn to beat match, mix tracks and other pro DJ skills.

Rogue Jammers – Rogues can play instruments and form a band. No previous experience is required but it will help.

This workshop will build confidence and Rogues can also have the opportunity to sing and perform.

Graffiti Rogues – Rogues get the chance to graffiti with a local graffiti artist in a safe environment.

Workshops include:  Learning to write their name in graffiti styles, different spray-painting techniques and working with stencils.  Protective equipment will be provided for all messy Rogues.
