What is it?

This is a weekly course for children aged 7-11 who enjoy drama, play and having fun in a supportive and friendly environment. Over the course, we will develop skills in acting, movement, voice and theatre-making. Taking inspiration from the play A Place for We by Archie Maddocks, we will create our own pieces of theatre, as well as look at a selection of scripts and present what we have explored in a relaxed sharing on Sat 04 Dec.
