A two-day theatre workshop that combines acting, voice and movement to explore the pressures facing young men and also the fun and freedom of being a boy.
The workshop celebrates the many creative routes that young men can use to express themselves and how theatre can be used as a way to visualise these new opportunities and freedom. We'll be asking “What does masculinity means to us?” and through the creation of a short performance, explore how masculinity can be expressed creatively as a positive force for change.
The workshop will be delivered by Will Hudson, founder of the social arts initiative Society Unlimited and researcher and project manager for Voicebox, an organisation that discusses and promotes healthy masculinity in schools and youth settings.
Previous experience of acting isn't necessary. Lunch and workshop materials provided.
Participants will leave the workshop having co-created a collaborative performance, with an opportunity to perform in front of a small and friendly audience.
