Fun Drama Workshop - can combine with arts award

This drama workshop for schools and youth groups is run by one of our many highly experienced Street Style Surgery drama practitioners, who have worked with young people from all walks of life.  Our practitioners have extensive experience in delivering the arts award at all levels. 

The drama workshop being offered is an incredible opportunity for young people to expand their creativity, immerse themselves in the discipline of arts and also gain an Arts Award qualification.  (Several sessions are needed for the arts award option) 

This workshop can be combined with any of our other courses, such as our fashion design workshops or our creative art workshops; in this way, young people can engage in a more extensive range of creative arts. 

In this drama workshop, students will be participating in team building exercises, working on their improvisational skills and devising their own dramatic works.  By performing their scenes in front of their peers and practitioner, students will gain valuable acting knowledge while also building confidence.

If there are specific issues or criteria that you feel should be covered, eg, bullying, healthy relationships, drugs misuse etc please let Street Style Surgery know; we are more than happy to adapt the workshop to cover and address these themes or just run it for fun and use the topics that your group put forward .

What happens in this workshop?
