Junior Youth Theatre 2 Performance Group

This project will use drama exercises and improvisation to develop a performance. It’s a great opportunity to try out your acting skill and have a say in what you create.

The groups will work towards a devised performance, using the drama activities and exercises from the weekly workshops to create a piece of theatre. Each group is led by two experienced theatre workshop tutors or core members of staff and a team of volunteer assistants to devise, rehearse and perform a sharing of their work in LYT’s new creative hub on Lewisham High Street.

To be held on:

Wednesdays

May – July with performances on 31st July 2024
