Join artist Yifei Ma for a shared miniature world-making session.
About this Event

Join artist Yifei for a workshop focusesdon how miniature worlds relate to one another through space.

Participants will explore how objects, areas and environments can be connected or separated using materials, distance, light and simple structures.

Rather than creating new objects, this session is about arranging, linking and adjusting what already exists, working slowly and collaboratively.


About the artist

Yifei Ma is a theatre maker and scenographer working across theatre-making, set and costume design, and miniature-led participatory practice. Her work is visual-led, using miniature worlds, objects and spatial composition as a form of non-verbal storytelling.

Moving between performance, workshops and community contexts, Yifei designs environments where narrative is produced through making, looking and arranging. Her workshops with young people and under-represented communities are integral to her artistic practice, offering alternative ways of engaging with authorship, play and shared space beyond language.
