ACTivate- Sept-Dec 2026

Step into the spotlight at Barbican Theatre with our Adults Acting Courses, designed for people who want to grow, express themselves, and connect with others in a creative environment.

Tuesdays, 5:30pm – 7:30pm

Ages 18+

ACTivate is a weekly drama session designed for adults who want to reconnect with their creativity, meet new people, and explore performance in a welcoming, no-pressure environment. No prior experience is needed, just an interest in trying something new.

Ideal for those returning to performance after a break, or simply looking for a creative hobby, ACTivate focuses on building confidence, communication skills, and group collaboration.

What You Can Expect:

• Improvisation & Acting Techniques: Learn the basics through fun, accessible exercises.
• Creative Expression: Use drama to explore ideas, characters, and stories.
• Collaborative Sessions: Work with others in a friendly, supportive space.
• Confidence Building: Develop skills for the stage and beyond.
• Led by Professionals: Sessions are delivered by an experienced facilitator and assistant.
• Drop-In Friendly: Flexible structure for those who can’t commit to every week.

ACTivate is a space to play, create, and grow at your own pace.
