Drama

At our drama groups, we have fun learning new acting skills, making up characters, playing games and making friends. We tell stories, play with props and we are serious and silly!

Our favourite games at the moment are ‘what are you doing?’, ‘animal game’ and ‘fruit salad’. We like to improvise at the doctors, in space, being chickens or chickens at the doctors in space – we could end up anywhere!

We have three drama workshops:

Intro to Drama – Wednesday 11 – 12:30pm

This is a fun, gentler introduction to Drama at Misfits! It can be a good entry point for members who haven’t done drama before. We’ll play fun drama games, create together and have relaxed sharings twice a year to show our work to friends and family.

Drama – Friday 11 – 12:30pm

In our Friday group we play drama games, improvise different scenarios, make new characters and learn performance skills. We will create and share four sharings a year for friends and family, sometimes making a larger theatre piece in different acts.

This group is great for you if:

• You enjoy drama and would like to learn more
• You like being in a group 
• You want to try improvising and being different characters
• You would like to build confidence in performing

Advanced Drama – Wednesday 2:00 – 3:30pm

This is a group where we will work towards new performances. We might perform them outside of the workshops, to new audiences. We’ll explore different kinds of performance through drama games and improvisations, and have fun as an ensemble!

This group is for more experienced performers.

This usually means you’ll have already started in one of our other groups or have worked with a similar theatre company.

This group is for you if:

• You enjoy improvisation
• Enjoy performing to an audience
• Are happy to rehearse for a performance
• Like working in a group as an ensemble.

Our workshops are at St Paul’s Learning Centre and are £15 per session (paid in 12 week terms – £180 total)
