Stage2 Autumn Term 2023

Activity Description

Stage2 are proud to be offering a range of exciting workshop opportunities to our members in the Summer of 2023. Whether you want to join in and be in our production of “I AM…”, a play written and devised by our members (no audition required!) or just have fun and hone your skills in General Drama, we have something for you! We also have frequent social and performance events for our members, and pride ourselves on bursting with opportunity.

Morning Options (9.30am-1pm)
Stage1
Stage1 is our group for 7-10 year olds and runs on Sunday mornings, 9.30am-1pm. If you want your child to gain confidence, make new friends, learn a new skill and have buckets of fun, then this is definitely the option for them.

“I AM…” Chorus
“I AM…” is a brand new play, devised and written by the young people of Stage2 in a first for the company. Through interviews, workshops, devising sessions, improvisations and discussions, the Cast and Crew of diverse young people have tackled some of the biggest issues facing young people (and the world!), reflecting the real voices and experiences of young people today. In this show, we explore the ‘I’ in Diversity. What does it mean to be an individual? How easy has technology made it to navigate the world? How much has the world and the way we treat each other really changed? We answer all of this, and more, in a vibrant burst of youthful energy. Anyone can be in the Chorus of the show, even without auditioning and even in your very first term at Stage2! Trust us when we say, you will not want to miss out on this amazing opportunity. This show is being directed by our Artistic Director, Rosie Nisbet.
Chorus rehearsals are from 9.30am-1pm every Sunday. Chorus should be there for the vast majority of weeks in the term so that we can maximise rehearsals!

Afternoon Options (1.30pm-5pm)
General Drama
General Drama is our termly workshop option, open to everyone in the company, and runs on Sunday afternoons 1.30-5pm. This option is open to all members and is a great chance to learn or further develop the core drama skills. Each week, you have a different focus that is woven into a termly theme, and you will explore the key drama skills through games and exercises: making this a fun, friendly and more ‘informal’ option for members to take.
This term’s theme will be: Back to Basics. A chance to learn all core performance skills, or deepen your understanding of them. It will be a thoroughly enjoyable term, run once again by the brilliant Becca.

And the best part? If you want to do both a morning and an afternoon session – you can! And it costs no extra to do so.
