Longshaw Youth Drama

VIEW PROJECT GALLERY

Action Factory Community Arts have been supporting drama work at Longshaw Community Centre through the ACT project, working with staff and community members to build on existing skills and interests and develop new ones.

The weekly drama group started with five young members and after publicity and taster sessions in local schools has involved over forty young people.

The main aim of the drama group is to encourage young people to be inspired by the arts and drama, and to use drama as a tool for learning and personal development. When the young people are not busily practising for a local community performance, they are entering in to drama workshops, which allow them to explore imagination, dreams and artistic vision as well as movement, mime, expression and more.
