About this event

  • 2 hours

We meet every second Sunday of the month to explore different methods of performance. We usually start with some warm up games before then either devising some short scenes, reading some scripts, play with moving our bodies or whatever other creative activities take our fancy!

We are an informal group aimed at having fun and creating community and space for everyone to feel safe and be free to explore their selves through drama and performance.

The workshops are run by Beckah from the London Intersectional Arts Collective. They are trans/genderqueer and disabled and their aim is to make these workshops accessible for all.

We welcome everybody regardless of orientation, gender, age, race, ethnicity – all we require is an open mind, a desire to try, respect for pronouns and a wish to perform! Doesn’t matter if you are a newbie or pro, just wear some comfy clothes and come along.

Sessions are free but we ask that you leave a donation in the bucket at the centre if that is possible.

If a donation is prohibitive, please do not let that put you off – art needs to be accessible for all of us.
