 YOUTH THEATRE

We have recently developed our new youth theatre group which is committed to the creative, personal and social development of young people. It uses a wide range of activities including dance, drama and voice workshops to  provide a fun and creative learning process.

Acting, Dance, Drama & Voice Workshops.

We recently offered offer a series of Acting, Dance, Drama & Voice Workshops during the summer of 2008 with the assistance of North Lanarkshire Council's Learning and Leisure department to youths aged 16-18 from High Schools across North Lanarkshire. These workshops were held over 6 weeks at the Henderson Theatre, Shotts.
 
During the workshops young people learned to improvise, devise and perform under the guidance of experienced members of our group, developing an understanding of performance and learning skills and disciplines which will serve them in the future. 

We are hoping to expand our Youth Theatre projects throughout the remainder of this year so watch this space for further information.

Here is a sample of the feedback we received from our recent summer workshops:

General comments: "Learned a lot", "Built my confidence", "Met many amazing people".

What I've enjoyed: "Meeting new people", "Learning to improvise and build my confidence", "Learning new skills and how to react to people".

What I would change: "Have it on longer", "Wider age range", "Longer sessions, lasting more than 6 weeks!".
