About this Event

New Year. Same You. More Confidence.

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.
