SPINE Festival library partners in Bromley and Croydon have a range of activities for children, families and young people both online and in their local libraries and schools exploring the theme of Empathy. Included in the activities is a tour of ‘The CAT-Astrophic Adventures of Dollop and Crinkle’, a co-commissioned theatre show with Half Moon and poets Henry Madd and Kirk-Ann Roberts.

This year Bromley and Croydon boroughs are paired together to work with Patrick Evans and Yara Rodrigues Fowler, our Artists in Residence for SPINE Festival 2021. Patrick and Yara will deliver school workshops and digital public events. Make sure to check out what they create on Bromley and Croydon library websites.
