Using a combination of creative techniques and storytelling you will create and own your own story.
We are really excited to announce some NEW performance opportunities for you to feature in our end film montage. Come and join ‘OPEN SPACE’, a film to celebrate the close of our six month Creativity and Wellbeing programme.
'All space is space within which to create'
During our workshops with Desree (2nd and 30th September) and on the 16th September with Michelle Smith and Jacquelyn Ockwell, we will be inviting you to join us to create performance material for our final showcase film.
We are also running a contemporary dance workshop on the 23rd September with Hollie-Ann Lowe to create some movement to support the film. This is in addition to an Art workshop on the 7th October with Jen Murphy, exploring the meaning of space through mixed media.
*Please note, following the workshops, we will be asking you to film yourselves on location to capture your favourite 'OPEN SPACES' that have supported your wellbeing throughout this time. The final film will be previewed on Facebook for the general public and invited audiences.
WORKSHOPS OUTREACH EDUCATION
COMMUNITY THEATRE
At Theatre for Life we work with aspiring and emerging young theatre makers to create life changing theatre projects to support our immediate community and beyond.
Using theatre for change we want to nurture and support creativity amongst marginalised groups both within our company and the audiences we reach.
Our outreach workshops focus on growth mindsets and mindfulness, instilling self confidence and developing life long skills.
Theatre for Life can create bespoke performing arts workshops unique to a school or college to help further subject knowledge through challenging, innovative and creative planning with professional artists and educators.
The Silent Mind project is continually evolving with new stories of resilience, empowerment and compassion for others with mental health. In 2020 we will be
devising and touring a new adaption of ‘Silent Mind’ on mental health awareness with a community group of emerging theatre makers aged 18-25.
CORE AIMS:
-
To ensure young people regardless of circumstance have access to the arts, company members will not be charged a membership fee for participation in the Youth Theatre and Community groups for those who meet our
eligibility criteria.
-
To create theatre projects that are relative to the company and the local community, tackling subject matters which can be part of an outreach programme to reach wider audiences.
-
To safeguard all the young people and adults attending Theatre for Life, making a positive contribution to a strong and safe community that recognises the right of every individual to stay safe.
