ADVANCED SKILLS

For members that want to develop their skills to a higher level.  We work faster and on more complex/adult projects in this class, in particular exploring the company’s performance interests in site-specific work and where performance begins and ends.  We often choose little-known pieces to broaden not only our members’ knowledge of theatre, but also our audiences’!  The group perform 2 main pieces each year, but frequently have extra smaller projects running alongside these.  In addition we often go to see theatre being performed in the area as a group, and discuss it together.  Members are pushed individually to challenge themselves and frequently achieve more than they thought they could.

For age 14-20 year olds
Fridays 5:30-8:00pm (doors open 5:15pm)                    
Charged termly - Sep-Dec 2025 £100

Please make sure you have soft-soled shoes to wear at the studio (e.g. plimsolls or jazz shoes) that are    never worn outside.
