Create new worlds
If you’re aged 18-25 with an interest in creating theatre and directing, this group meet weekly on Wednesdays from 5pm-7pm and includes a 5-week placement.
Sessions, guided by our team of professional artists, give you the opportunity to experiment with different techniques, styles of directing and art forms. Through a placement on one of our in-house productions, you’ll gain insight into approaches to directing plays, learn about being part of the creative team, and develop your skills in working with actors.
This activity is free and no previous experience is needed!
Want to know more and meet the team? Come to our Open Day on Tue 28 Oct, 3.30pm-6pm. Sign up here.
To be able to work with a full crew on a professional production is just so fulfilling. I just love the whole process and thrive on the pressure.
