About this Event

New Year. Same You. More Confidence.

Step into the spotlight at Barbican Theatre with our Adults Acting Courses, designed for people who want to grow, express themselves, and connect with others in a creative environment.



Tuesdays, 5:30pm – 7:30pm
Ages 18+

ACTivate is a weekly drama session designed for adults who want to reconnect with their creativity, meet new people, and explore performance in a welcoming, no-pressure environment. No prior experience is needed—just an interest in trying something new.

Ideal for those returning to performance after a break, or simply looking for a creative hobby, ACTivate focuses on building confidence, communication skills, and group collaboration.



What You Can Expect:
  • Improvisation & Acting Techniques: Learn the basics through fun, accessible exercises.
  • Creative Expression: Use drama to explore ideas, characters, and stories.
  • Collaborative Sessions: Work with others in a friendly, supportive space.
  • Confidence Building: Develop skills for the stage—and beyond.
  • Led by Professionals: Sessions are delivered by an experienced facilitator and assistant.
  • Drop-In Friendly: Flexible structure for those who can’t commit to every week.
  • Inclusive Practice: Accessible to adults with additional needs—just let us know how we can support you.



ACTivate is a space to play, create, and grow at your own pace.
