Press Release: The Playground Studio – By The Playground Studio

2 months ago by

What if, for a little while, you could step outside the roles, expectations and rules of everyday life?
The Playground Studio is an immersive participatory experience that invites adults to explore possible versions of themselves through making, movement, imagination and play.


Rather than asking you to define who you are or decide who you should become, The Playground creates a temporary space to experiment. Across a series of playful experiences, you’ll be invited to transform, move, imagine and rehearse possibilities alongside others.

Date: Saturday, 5 September 2026
Open: 11:00am – 5:00pm
Admission: Free
The Playground Studio experiences:
11:00am–12:00pm,
2:00–3:00pm
4:00–5:00pm

The Playground Studio will run as three one-hour participatory sessions throughout the day. You’re also very welcome to drop by between sessions, explore the space, take a look around and discover the project.
