What you’ll do

Come find out what play is to you. Hear about Anthea Moys’s artistic practice, which changes the rules of the game in sport and reimagines winning. Then play some of her favourite games that explore different forms of play – competitive, make-believe and risky – one of which is about playing with the rules of boxing! All the Very Best Players will receive certificates and medals, of course.

Suitable for all fitness levels but please wear comfortable clothes and shoes because you will be moving around. The games are suitable for people ages 18+.
