CoCreate is pleased to be able to offer an 8 week course in skills for Acting and Performing, with existing members of our performing theatre group.
We have a small but core group of volunteer performers, who are keen to develop their skills as actors and performers. We were recently awarded some funding to say thank you for a project, and we’re using this to provide 8 weeks of skills development, we’d like to open our group to other people with similar lived experience who’re interested in being part of a performing theatre group.
This course may lead to an opportunity to join us as a volunteer-performer and work with the performing theatre group regularly on developing new shows.
What is the course about?
Each week we will explore and develop our skills as performers, and creatives.
Sessions will be led by theatre professionals, and focus on performer training, such as skills for devising, building a character, and working with text.
Thursdays – 2nd May – 27th June 2024
(no session 23rd May)
1.30pm -3.30pm
Boscombe Venue
As a group we are supportive of each other, and have a lot of fun, but we also work hard and take our creativity seriously as something that’s important to us.
No previous acting or drama experience is required, but we do ask that you consider carefully if you can commit to joining a group on a regular basis, and have an interest in performing you’d like to develop.
If you are unsure if this is the right group for you, please contact us for a chat. You’re welcome to join and see how you get along for a few weeks.
What does the CoCreate Theatre Group do?
We recently created and performed “Did Not Attend” a forum theatre show, we are now focusing on a term of learning and improving our acting skills and knowledge, before we think about developing a new show in the Autumn/Winter.
Our volunteer performers, have also taken part in Broken and Golden (Extraordinary Bodies in partnership) as well as SALT community play. We have a real interest in devising and improvisation.
