A group of covid-conscious ghouls and their pals who want to create ways to socialise more safely. Their goal is to make a softer spot to land by taking into consideration the needs of those left to the wayside. Blankets, cushions, sofas, and mats are always at hand. So lie down, get comfy, and have some fun

The Common Thread
The Common Thread forms part of our WOWTE Programme. It is a series of experiments and happenings that serve as an ongoing public discussion, drawing out shared themes and engaging audiences in an ongoing conversation about the goals and strategies of social change: what kind of society do we want and how should we get there?

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

--Scary Scenes on the Big Screen--

To kick the night off we’ll join forces with A4’s in house movie nights to watch a frightfully fun film. Snuggle up on a couch or claim a comfy chair as we sit in the dark ready to watch.
Take a jump to the left, and a step to the right… We’ll be watching a certain Halloween classic filled with singing and debauchery! 

--Devilish Crafts--

Join us as we concoct frivolous adornments for our masks, make childish bat wings, or even draw the most exquisite corpse you’ve ever seen!

We’ll have a table of supplies to upgrade your respirators, crepe paper for scary garlands, and anything you can think of to upgrade your costume!
