Our Birdies group encourages young people in school years 3, 4 & 5 to learn new skills, make friends and have a go! During the sessions, we will focus on theatre games, short devising tasks and a bit of improvisation which positively stimulates the imagination and improves the confidence of our young members. Theatre workshops have been proven to have a wonderful impact on young people’s self-esteem, communication skills and literacy; we are proud of the friendly and supportive environment we have established over the years which enables us to continue this work and allows for young people of any level of experience to join in with our workshops. Birdies will have the opportunity to work with a script, perform on our stage and enjoy the culture of respect and kindness we actively maintain.

Our Parcans group gives young people in school years 6, 7 & 8 the chance to develop their theatre skills, learn in an encouraging environment and make new friends. During the sessions, we will focus on improvisation, devising tasks and games which stimulate the imagination and improve the young people’s creative practice. Parcans will have the chance to work with published plays, from Brechtian drama to contemporary writing, all of which will inform the development of our own work. There are also opportunities to perform in our in-house youth productions. We are proud of the friendly, vibrant and supportive youth theatre we have established over the years and the culture of respect and kindness we actively maintain.
