Throughout the year we also offer a selection of additional workshops with a specific drama focus. These give students an even greater understanding of specialised drama and theatrical skills.

Topics vary depending on the particular expertise of our leaders and the needs of our members. Some previous courses have included:

Stage and TV Make-up Course
Faust joined with the renowned Frederique Academy for two special make-up workshops that covered the basics of stage make-up and teaching technical including make-up for specific stage lighting and stage sizes and special effects seen on stage and TV such as scars and bullet wounds! For boys and girls, budding artists and actors this was a great opportunity to master the skill of stage make-up with a distinguished make-up academy

All that jazz- a musical theatre workshop for beginners
This workshop covered many of the basic Jazz dance steps and terminology. Participants discovered how to put them into dance combinations and learnt how to pick up choreography quickly. A fun and lively experience for those wanting to expand their performance techniques and learn some audition survival skills.

Whose line is it anyway? An impro and devising workshop
Improvisation is a very challenging dramatic process requiring creativity, spontaneity and bundles of imagination. It is a highly skilled technique and probably the most utilised in drama and theatre. This workshop explored impro through a range of fun exercises and games which guided participants into devising their own drama! Members worked under the expert guidance of an experienced professional actor.

Stage Fighting
The workshop covered both armed and unarmed combat in a variety of styles and was be delivered by James Gitsham a British trained professional actor with extensive experience in choreographing fights for both stage and screen.

Play Acting
Participants brought their own scripts to the session and worked with trained actors and professionals to stage their work, receiving suggestions on the content and discussing how to develop their plays still further.

In addition to tailor-made workshops we have also worked with professional theatre groups such as Riverdance and Cirque de Soleil where participants have met the cast and joined in exclusive workshops

We also work directly with schools and organisations to deliver tailor made drama courses on a wide range of topics. Please contact us for more information.
