About Make a Play Camp (CSC171)

Get creative and flex those performance muscles as you work with other young people to produce a short play in just three days!

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 family and friends at the end of the camp.

Expect lots of games, movement and a chance to develop your acting skills.

Who is this course for?

This three-day workshop is for young people age 8-14 years old. It is open to all ability levels and does not require any previous experience. We provide a learning support worker and all our staff are DBS checked. Parents are not expected to accompany children on the course.

The course is accessible for children of all abilities. A parent or carer may attend to assist the child if required; carers must book a complimentary ticket if attending to provide support. Please contact us to discuss your specific access needs. The room is wheelchair accessible.

Age ranges are set carefully to consider key age developments, materials being used, and course stimulus. It is very important that age ranges are not too large or across key stages and therefore need to be adhered to.

Do you need to bring anything?

All materials and equipment are provided.

Please note that lunch is not provided. Children will need to bring their own lunch to eat on a supervised one-hour break.

Wear clothes and shoes which are comfortable for moving around in.

Please feel free to invite friends and family to attend your sharing. Invited guests should arrive at reception 30 minutes before the end of the session. The Artist Tutor will collect you from there.

Are there any additional costs?

There are no additional costs for this course.
