Our popular music and theatre scheme returns, this time in St John’s Parish Hall, Falls Road, after fully-booked previous events in the Duncairn Arts Centre (North Belfast) and St Finnian’s Parish Hall (East Belfast).
Designed for young people aged 9-11 who are interested in music, theatre and creative arts, this week long programme is free to attend.
Come and find out about all the different theatre, music and creative skills used to bring a show to the stage. Our professional facilitators will take you through all the elements needed to put together a show, including singing and music-making, storytelling, stage make-up, choreography, prop-making, character and costume. All interests and abilities are welcome to sign up. Places are free but limited and attendance is for the full week. Breakfast, snacks and lunch are provided free of charge.
