About
We will be recruiting up to twenty young people aged 14-15 for each of two pop-up theatre companies, one in Colchester, one in Basildon. As well as the four days you’ll spend together based at your theatre, there will be three or four zooms in the run up to the event. These will give you an opportunity to meet each other and have some early practice at some of the skills you’ll be developing as you devise, improvise and script your scenes based on the theme you choose as a group.
