New youth theatre workshops now booking at The Quay Theatre
This September, The Quay Theatre is re-launching its Youth Theatre groups, providing weekly drama workshops for young people aged seven to 15 years.
The new groups provide an exciting opportunity for local young people to engage with the craft of theatre in a professional space, with a focus on all manner of acting skills, as well as collaboration and creative communication.
The aim is to give young people somewhere they can feel safe to explore their creative expression - and have plenty of fun too!
The whole course of ten workshops - including the show day - is priced at £80 per student.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to perform in The Quay Theatre itself, taking full advantage of its extensive professional facilities. Their termly showcase will be fully kitted out with lights, sound, costumes and more – a great experience for budding creatives.
Starting next week, the first term of workshops will explore general dramatic skills, and how we can create both comedy and tension on the stage.
Youth Theatre Lead, Lucy Molnar, says: “Doing drama as a young person is a really special experience that I remember fondly. I’m so excited to offer this opportunity to our local young people. I believe theatre is a fantastic way to explore not only the empathy we share with other people, but also to explore ourselves. It’s going to be lots of fun!”
Demand for the return of these youth groups has been immense, so those interested are recommended to book quickly to avoid disappointment.
Sign-ups for the workshops can be found by following the links below, or bookings can be made in person at the box office.
