Theatre School Age: 9-12 Summer Term 2024

A group for those looking to enhance their understanding of theatre and performance in a creative and inclusive environment. For anyone who loves to perform, create and collaborate and wants to learn more about different theatre making techniques. Led by industry professionals members will explore their creativity and gain practical experience in performance and theatre making.

Skills developed:

• Introducing stagecraft
• Understanding narrative and storytelling
• Enhancing team working and ensemble skills
• Introduction to physical storytelling
• Introduction to devising from a stimuli

Summer term dates: w/c 13^th May – 13^th July.

Throughout the term we will be exploring theatres’s relationship with the natural world and its potential to address environmental and climatic challenges.

We will be asking:

• What is our responsibility to the world we live in?
• How can we use theatre as a tool for change?
• What impact can our creativity make on those around us?

Working with a professional director, participants will be led through performance and acting workshops, devising and storytelling exercises and physical storytelling tasks. The group will explore the timeless stories of The Lorax, The Little Prince and The Giving Tree and use their characters and theme to create their own play focused on environmental action

The play will perform as part of our TRBTS end of term building takeover. A full day of performances, workshops and exhibitions all created and led by TRBTS members, inviting members of the public to hear our young people’s voice.

As ever, we believe that finances should not impact a young person’s ability to access the arts. Therefore, we offer bursaries for those who require financial support. Should you require a bursary, please email [email protected] for an application and to reserve your place while this is being processed.
