Open Stage Young Company is for young people aged 10-18 years old and is our dedicated young company for learning disabled and/or autistic young people who love drama and performing.
Sessions are designed to spark imaginations and develop creative play. Workshops will include lots of games, team work, theatre skills building and lots of fun. We will explore a range of performance styles and drama techniques as we learn how to tell exciting stories using our bodies and voices. Led by a team of experienced staff in a relaxed and encouraging environment to make sure everyone is fully supported.
Please note parents do not stay in the sessions. Please ensure all young people are collected promptly at the end of the session.
