Youth Theatre Arts Scotland

Join YTAS and Company of Wolves for the first Creative Concepts workshop of the year, and the launch of our wider sector training programme.

Tron Theatre

This event is part of our Creative Concepts stand of training, which is comprised of creative workshops for all artforms under the &#x27;youth theatre&#x27; umbrella.In this half-day workshop, you will be invited to explore methods of devising through movement and physical exploration. Lead practitioner Ewan Downie will guide you through activities to get you moving first, and thinking later... all while developing skills for collaborative storytelling through the body. After exploring movement practice as participants, we will use the final hour of the workshop to troubleshoot how these activities can be applied in a youth theatre setting, for all ages and abilities. You do not need to be an experienced mover to participate. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring water to stay hydrated! The YTAS sector training programme is supported by funding from the Gannochy Trust and Creative Scotland. <a href="https://www.ytas.org.uk/grants/ytas-sector-training-programme-bursary/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bursaries are available</a> to any YTAS Member who requires financial support in order to attend one of our training courses, and will cover any fees associated with the training.
