I just love tutoring this class which has been running for several years now. It is relaxed, focussed on friendship and social interaction, and uses drama as a way of having fun together. It always involves a cuppa and some biscuits, a catch up chat at the start and the activities are different each week. It is run on a drop-in basis in case people have appointments, or other events or responsibilities, or even just fancy a week off. It starts on the 2nd of September 10.30 – 12.30 and will run for 16 weeks at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre.

This September I will be delivering this adult weekly acting course for Edinburgh Acting School at Summerhall Arts. The above pictures are of some of last terms students presenting the story they created in their final class of the course. We spent the term looking at lots of different aspects of storytelling – our voices, our bodies, our relationship to the audience, the use (or not) of technology, preparation for performance, rehearing, feeling confident, visual storytelling, object theatre and puppetry. Students wrote original work, performed a piece they had learnt in the past, or an extract from a favourite novel – even a dungeons and dragons scenario. I am looking forward to meeting the new students – there are still spaces available so please do come along to Summerhall this autumn and winter!
