How do you make theatre that centres and celebrates the lives and experiences of young people?
This workshop will look at stories and how we tell them, through games and techniques that help build trust and a deeper understanding between groups and communities.
We’ll touch on some of the work I’ve done with young people in the UK and Internationally, from prisons to youth leadership, from Sudan to South London.
It will get you moving , thinking and connecting in ways you might not have thought about before.
No experience of theatre and acting necessary.
This workshop is open to London based Young People aged 18 – 30 who have lived experience of, or may be facing, challenging or unstable life circumstances. (This includes those who are care leavers, young carers, experience of homelessness, living in temporary or unstable housing, not currently in employment, education or training, or in receipt of Universal Credit)
