Session dates and times
Sessions take place on Tuesdays from 6.15pm to 7.45pm.
Autumn term 2019
Tue 10 Sep – Tue 17 Dec (no session on 22 Oct)
Our aim is to provide young people of all backgrounds the opportunity to understand how to read a play, to create scenes and share their work by performing on stage to a live audience at the end of each term.
The group for 11-16 year olds meets once a week on Tuesdays from 6.15pm – 7.45pm and is led by two skilled theatre practitioners who set a different theme at the beginning of each term.
These themes are explored through the sessions through a mixture of warm up activities and games, and work in both small and large groups to create scenes and stories. The group helps to boost confidence and enables young people to express their talent and creativity in a supportive learning environment.
We asked some of our HAC Youth Theatre 11- 16 members what they liked most about the group. This is what they had to say!
I loved creating our own plays. I learnt how to do sound and lighting
It’s a great opportunity to try different kinds of performance
Accreditation
Harrow Arts Centre is a registered Arts Award Centre and has been successfully delivering arts awards since 2013.
The Arts Award is a unique set of qualifications that supports young people to deepen their engagement with the arts, build creative and leadership skills that they can take into their future lives and achieve a nationally recognised qualification.
During summer and autumn term 2019, HAC are offering the 11-16’s a chance to complete Bronze Arts Award.
Those who take part in the award will be given clear guidance on how to complete the award through their weekly sessions by both HAC’s Youth Theatre practitioners who have prior experience assisting and delivering Arts Award projects.
