exploring possibility through creativity and culture
Thinking Through Drama
*NO ACTING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED*
WORKSHOPS & RESIDENTIAL PROJECT 2025
The GAP is running a new series of workshops for young people, in which you will learn to ‘think through drama’ about stuff that matters to you in our world. You will discover new and creative techniques for exploring and questioning a range of contemporary human dilemmas and social problems, techniques that are inclusive, creative and searching, enabling you to see your world more objectively, understand others more deeply, and develop your own values more freely.
Exploring collectively and collaborating creatively is also good fun and very rewarding. The group will grow to know each other, how to work together and to value different perspectives, building your social skills, team work and creative confidence.
Are you 16-21 years old?
Are you interested in the world and taking a creative approach to exploring it with others?
