Located at Whisk’d, a delightful play cafè, the sessions are designed to work on core theatrical skills; vocal expression, physicality, creativity and communication whilst also fostering important values such as empathy and compassion.

Rachel, the director, says ‘the children are incredible young people with huge talent. I feel extremely fortunate to be a part in their journey and I absolutely love watching them thrive whilst exploring their passion.’

Space are available and taster sessions are free.
