Youth Drama Workshops
Youth Drama

Kathy Crawshaw and the team are helping young people develop communication and theatre skills within a friendly and supportive workshop environment.

Our policy offers places regardless of experience in the belief that everyone can benefit from these sessions which aim to build confidence and encourage teamwork through a variety of drama methods.

Held on Saturday mornings, each workshop contains an element of voice work, movement, mime and improvisation, culminating in a ‘sharing’ and discussion of work produced. Scripted work and play writing are also encouraged, especially when working towards public performance.

Group 1 Up to & inc. Year 1 9:15 – 10:15
Group 2 Years 2 & 3 9:15 – 10:15
Group 3 Years 4, 5 & 6 9:15 – 10:30
Group 4 Years 7 & 8 10:30 – 12:00
Group 5 Years 9, 10 & 11 10:30 – 12:00

Each year there are two public performances: a Christmas Open Morning and a concert in the the Summer Term. Whenever possible, workshop members are encouraged to audition for roles in Loft Theatre Company productions and there are occasional opportunities to audition for the RSC and BBC. Members of Groups 4 & 5 may enter for LAMDA Group Devised Performance exams.

NB: This is a privately run workshop and not a drama group connected to the theatre. Places are limited but we will endeavour to accommodate keen applicants wherever possible, following an interview and trial session. Occasional visitors can be welcomed, preferably with prior notice, for a pro-rata fee.

If you are interested, please contact Kathy Crawshaw.
