Looking for something fun and creative to do during half term? This short theatre course for 15-17s is focused on devised theatre - learning about the different skills involved in making theatre. Create scenes from your own imagination and life experiences, through creative games that explore writing, movement, improvisation and more.
This project is about exploring your voice and expressing yourself through drama in a fun, supportive and inclusive space.
OVER THE 3 SESSIONS YOU WILL
Play drama games to break the ice and get comfortable working as a group
Use improvisation games to create stories and scenes, and spark your imagination
Reflect on your life experience to find inspiration
Find the stories you want to tell
Work as a group to devise short scenes using dialogue and movement
Learn about working as an ensemble and how new pieces of theatre are created
WHAT DO I GET BY TAKING PART?
Have fun!
Build your confidence in improvisation.
Learn about how to tell your own stories through drama.
Improve your abilities in self-reflection, expression and critical thinking
Meet other people who enjoy theatre and performing.
This course focuses on teaching the process of creating new work, so although there may be an opportunity at the end of the week to share short scenes with a small audience of invited friends and family, there won’t be any pressure on the group to do so.
WHO IS TEACHING THE PROJECT?
Experienced drama facilitators will be leading the sessions.
DO I NEED ANY PARTICULAR SKILLS OR EXPERIENCE TO TAKE PART?
No, this is open to all levels of experience. We welcome people new to drama and welcome back people who’ve been to one of our theatre programmes before.
