✨ New Tutor: Emma Cleasby ✨

Emma Cleasby was an actor for a long time (from Coronation Street to the Royal Shakespeare Company to Horror films). She's pretended to be a patient, a police officer, a lawyer, done a lot of crying, danced on a piano, and turned into a werewolf - drama can take you anywhere!

Since then, she's been a writer and director and makes short films and her production company, Reckless Kettle.

Drama is a fantastic way to increase your confidence, improve communication skills, boost your creativity and challenge yourself. On our course, we'll explore acting techniques: improvisation, puppetry, characterisation, scripts and voice work. You don't have to be a confident performer to come, you can be nervous, you can be a complete beginner or an experienced pro.

Drama is all about trying new things, working together and having fun!
