Acting Up UK
We had so much fun getting to know our newest members of the Acting Up team, at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester. As part of a new UK-wide initiative, Kaleidoscope will be running a series of workshops across the country to support older people in setting up their own drama groups, as well as helping develop existing groups.
Our Manchester participants kicked off the programme last Friday, with a fun and exciting workshop facilitated by our very own professional director and writer Kerry Rooney. This group will be meeting up regularly over the coming months for a series of professional training workshops. They will also receive invaluable support, with access to specially written plays for older people, seminars with professional actors, writers and directors and the opportunity to perform in a professional theatre venue as part of the Acting Up Theatre Festival. Best of all, there are no costs for older people taking part in Acting Up, thanks to the support of the Big Lottery Fund.
We are also running a number "taster" workshops across the country. If you would like more information about this exciting programme, contact Karen on 078 4120 4641 or email karen@kaleidoscopeni.com.
