Key Club is a FREE creative arts and social club for young people (18-30 yrs) on the autism spectrum. The members meet once a month on a Saturday from September to June. They participate in a creative workshop and share refreshments and social time.
“If there was no Key Club I don't think I'd be the same person I am today. I don't know what would have happened to get me out of the house and interacting with people, especially people my own age.”
New Weekly dance classes for children in Sheffield
Phoenix Dance Theatre is excited to launch the brand-new dance class – IGNITE. Weekly Wednesday classes are aimed at energetic and enthusiastic children aged 11-16 years who want to come together to express themselves through movement. Classes are suitable for absolute beginners as well as for those more experienced dancers. Sessions build physical strength, focus, confidence and dance skills, while offering a clear route of progression through to our pre-vocational training provision – Phoenix Youth Academy.
We offer children the opportunity to showcase their talent and work at regular studio sharings for parents/carers, and at the company’s Summer Dance Platform event which runs at the end of the summer term. Those enrolled in weekly classes have opportunities to perform throughout the year at both theatre and outdoor events. All children enrolled and accepted to the class must intend to attend each weekly session.
These weekly Wednesday sessions run throughout the academic year at All Saints Academy, Granville Road, S2 2RJ
Cost: £25 each Half Term
Bursaries and sibling discounts are available.
Term dates:
Autumn 2nd Half Term: 2 November – 7 December 2022
Spring 1st Half Term: 11 January – 8 February 2023
Spring 2nd Half Term: 22 February – 29 March 2023
This short textile course will introduce you to the art of freehand machine embroidery. Learn how to create texture and pattern with thread, transferring images and drawing in a unique way. During the course you will produce lots of samples and be encouraged to collect and explore visual ideas in a sketchbook, developing these to create a mini project of your own design.
There are no formal for this course apart from being 19+. All we ask is that you come with enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
Punchdrunk Enrichment has just launched its latest series of online masterclasses! Alongside our regular programme covering performance, design and making immersive work, we are also launching two brand- new masterclasses: Origin Stories and The Immersive Lab.
We are offering Get Into Theatre participants an exclusive 25% discount for any of our four original masterclasses, which can be accessed with the code GETINTO25. We are also offering four subsidised places for our new Immersive Lab which takes the cost from £100 to just £20.
Punchdrunk Enrichment is an independent charity creating immersive, theatrical experiences that celebrate the power of imagination. It shares a creative practice with Punchdrunk, but since 2008 Punchdrunk Enrichment has taken immersive theatre in a new direction. Working across community, family and educational settings, it opens doors to magical worlds for people and places that have less access to the arts. As part of the company's work to use immersive theatre as a tool to explain, explore and enlighten we run a series of masterclasses aiming to share our practice and equip participants with skills they can utilise in their own work.
Currently available to book are:
