Theatre Workshop is for young people who have a passion for
theatre and want to develop their drama skills and experience in a
workshop situation. Our classes offer the chance to concentrate on
the important drama skills of improvisation, storytelling
techniques and working with texts in a friendly and supportive
environment. These classes are open to all students of secondary
school age.
You will work in small groups (of no more than 15 students) with
others of a similar age, gaining skills, experience and confidence
that will be hugely valuable, whatever you want to do in life.
There is no audition for Theatre Workshop, places are allocated on
a first come, first served basis with entry on to the workshop in
September, January and April.
Theatre Workshop groups meet for two and a half hours on
Saturdays (in Pembrokeshire) or Sundays (in Cardiff) from either
10am to 12.30pm or 1.15pm to 3.45pm.
In Cardiff, we are pleased to be able to offer
Theatre Workshop classes through the medium of Welsh. Please
contact us for more
information.
