Hotel Transylvania + Origami Workshop

Dracula, who operates a high-end resort away from the human world, goes into overprotective mode when a boy discovers the resort and falls for the count's teenage daughter.

With themes such as found family, a feeling of being an 'outcast' and coming out allegories, the film offers meaningful queer-coded representation within a family fantasy adventure.

This event is a relaxed screening, designed to be welcoming and accessible for neurodivergent audiences, and will be followed by an origami workshop where you can make your own castle or bat. with artist Toshiko Kurata.

Toshiko Kurata is a member of British Origami Society and founder of Happy Origami Wonderland. She teaches origami to adults and children through her own workshops as well as teaching in schools and private events, also working with Samuel Tsang's Mindful Origami company. Her recent origami artwork "Hana no Oto - Sound of Flowers" was displayed at the exhibition called "Spirit of Invention" at The National Archives in London and Discovery Museum in Newcastle.
