We have been funded by Astwood Bank Carnival Committee to set up new drama activities for young people in Astwood Bank this is also being supported by Redditch Arts Council through Redditch Borough Council.

 

We want to offer young people:

 

-a safe friendly envirnoment in which they can explore their creativity

-a chance to stretch and challenge themselves

-chance to work as part of a team

-opportunity to build their confidenceand self esteem

-opportunity to improve speaking,listening and concentration

-opportunity to learn performance and backstage skills

-opportunity to learn how to devise and create their own work

 

Longer term as the groups develop we want to establish an older group who can devise/create their own work and perform in festivals and venues in the area.

 

We also want to expand the range of work experience opportunities we currently offer.
