Drama

 
Barnstorm Theatre Company
Drama and Community
The Adult Drama Club is a programme which offers weekly theatre workshops to give local people the opportunity to learn more about creating theatre, to increase their theatre skills and meet up with new people.  Initially training focuses on acting skills, but then participants are encouraged to begin to explore other areas of theatre including devising, directing and production.  There are several chances to perform in-house and publicly.  September enrolment – membership limited so book early.  No experience necessary.
Outreach Development Programme
The Outreach Development Programme is a flexible strand that welcomes individuals, organisations and communities to get in touch and discuss possibilities of working with Outreach@Barnstorm on realising theatre, arts and drama projects.  Activities in the past have included programmes for schools, community theatre, partnerships with local artists and agencies and providing advice, support and resources to those that wish to use drama in their own work.
