Help develop ideas for a suitable theatre project using research and drama with Julie Begum and Dr Canan Salih.  It delves into the horrific events that happened in 1984 to Afia Begum and the subsequent movement by the Saree Squad to stop her deportation.  The devising workshop will explore this history and hopefully bring a concept into a synopsis or script.
