Express Your'elf! (Theatre Arts Workshop )

Escape the world, reconnect with your inner child and join us for a playful evening of drama games, improvisation, discovery and laughter! Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned performer, this workshop will help you express yourself and find your inner ‘elf’. No pressure, no rehearsal, no commitment, no performance. Just a one-off opportunity to improvise, explore and unmask. Expect fun, friendship and lots of laughter! Led by our experienced double act – Rebecca & Sinead, this session offers a unique chance to express yourself in new ways, discover different sides to yourself and find that cheeky, magical, authenticate ‘elf’ that hides within all of us. With decades of experience working in community arts, the pair are true drama queens who absolutely love helping others shine! Following their late diagnosis of Autism and ADHD, the duo wanted to create a space to help others in their community to express their true selves, build confidence, share stories and explore their unique journeys with other like-minded individuals. Having worked together for many years leading choirs, Sinead & Rebecca are taking a break from singing together, instead offering a fresh new take on theatre arts, specifically designed to welcome their Neurodivergent Community. Between them, the dynamic duo hold vast lived experience of all colours of the Neurodivergent spectrum, along with many years of living with long term physical & mental health conditions and disability. We welcome adults with or without diagnosis, their allies and those who are just curious. It’s definitely not about polished performance, instead a whimsical opportunity to explore the different parts of yourself in a safe and supportive ‘unmasked’ environment. There’ll be drama games, improvisation, sketches, creative writing and the freedom to see where the process leads through ideas and inspiration from the group. There’s no pressure, you can go at your own pace and no expectation to attend regularly. Just a one-off session to freely enjoy. This inclusive workshop is open to adults aged 18+.
