Over the five-week term students will play games, explore existing stories and create their own, (re)connect with other young people, and maybe make something wonderful…
The aims of these classes are to:
- Inspire young people to engage in theatre and the arts.
- Create a space for young people to explore their creativity and imagination, build confidence, and have fun.
- Provide a connection with other young people at a time when young people are isolated and have limited time in a social environment.

Lots of great theatre starts with an excellent script, but there are loads of ways to approach writing a play and it can be a very daunting task. These sessions will include reading some extracts from plays and discussing them, touching on the different ways of writing them (storytelling, dialogue, monologue) and do exercises that will help students write character and structure stories. This will be for keen writers, as well as those who’ve never written a play before.
By the end of the sessions the aim will be to have written a short play (of no more than five minutes) to share with the group.
Even if you think you aren’t a writer, understanding the mechanics of a script will help you as an actor, director, designer or any other role in theatre-making.
Sessions on:
- Structure
- Monologue
- Character
- Dialogue and duologues
- Breaking form
