Our Young People's Theatres are for all young actors aged 16+. We work inclusively with learning disabled and/or autistic and neurotypical actors who perform together as equal partners.
Following the school terms, each Young People’s Theatre works towards two pieces each year created by the members and supported by professionals.
This course offers a one year introductory course to the skills associated with theatre acting. More specifically, it is tailored to those wanting to learn about the craft of acting, how to develop your own physical, vocal and imaginative skills, and to explore the dramatic text in performance.
It runs over 3 terms, each term lasting 13 weeks. You will attend the college on one evening a week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) from 7pm to 9.30pm, plus extra rehearsals as required (usually on a Saturday), technical and dress rehearsals and performances as the work demands, totalling approximately 120 hours of contact time.
You will act in APT productions at the end of each term.
