2B: Acting Classes for LGBTQIA+ People

Queer Theatre invites you to join our weekly acting classes for queer people, held every Monday from 7pm to 9:30pm at the iconic LGBTQ+ venue, The Two Brewers in Clapham. Led by award-winning theatre director Andrew Keates, our classes welcome LGBTQ+ performers of all levels, from seasoned professionals to enthusiastic beginners. What matters most to us, is building a queer community of performers in a place where we can play and grow together.

What To Expect:

Our acting classes serve as a queer theatre lab, a safe and creative space where LGBTQ+ theatre-makers can come together to:

Hone Acting and Performance Skills: Engage in diverse performance styles and learn acting techniques to elevate your craft.

Explore Through Play: Participate in creative games, exercises and improvisation exercises designed to foster self-discovery and collaborative play.

Delve into LGBTQ+ Material: Work with scripts, themes and devise work that reflects LGBTQ+ people, experiences and themes.

Build a Supportive Network: Make friends and join a nurturing community that supports your artistic and personal growth.

Discover Opportunities: Gain access to Queer Theatre's array of events, including queer play readings, comedy nights, networking events, shows, special workshops and performance opportunities.
