U3A Drama Workshop

The U3A Drama Workshop is for anyone aged over-50 and is an informal group not aimed at perfomance.  

During the sessions we do exercises, games and improvisations.

A typical session might be starting with some simple Tai Chi warm-ups like slow arm movements or throwing an imaginary ball about.

We then might try some yoga balance postures like the cat, the dog, and the corpse! After moving onto some simple dances such as the Hokey Cokey, or Strip the Willow.

We might also play some games like walking about the room blindfold with a partner, or creeping up on the giant to steel his keys!  

The sessions are quite active but only as much as you want them to be.

Occasional performances may take place in the future - but only if members wish to develop a piece to that point.

Why not come along and try something different from the norm?  You’ll have great fun and no one has to do anything they think might be too much!
