Family Play in a Day (CSC269)

Get creative as family and flex those performance muscles as you work with other families to produce a short play in just one day!

What will you learn on this course?

Working together as a team you will learn to be more creative and playful in this low-pressure, high-enjoyment class that cultivates a fun, friendly and supportive environment.

You’ll experience a range of theatre games and devising activities, as well as the chance to deliver a short sharing to an invited audience at the end of the day.

This course is taught by Lucy Poulson, a Birmingham based theatre practitioner and improvisor with extensive experience working with young people and their families on scripted and non-scripted drama.

Expect lots of games, movement and most of all, laughs!

Who is this course for?

This one-day workshop is for young people age 8 - 14 years old and their parent or guardian. All will be invited to participate as equals!
