Workshops

At the heart of all Tin Horse Theatre's work is education through strong narrative. Our workshops are no different. We run workshops alongside our main productions and independently with the focus on empowering those taking part.

We guide participants through the process of creating theatre with expertise in devising, improvisation and narrative skills. Our facilitators draw upon years of experience making theatre in varied environments from the west end, fringe, hostels, schools and community projects.

For more information on any of the above, including workshop fees and concessions, please email us.

Past Workshop Projects

Influence: A Project With New Horizon Youth Centre

September & October 2011

The project took place over 3 weeks with young people from New Horizon Youth Centre in the borough of Camden, London. Tin Horse Theatre facilitators ran six workshops with a total of 52 young people delivering 18 AQA’s in performance and drama. New Horizon works with 16-21 year olds many of whom have poor self esteem, low confidence, a history of rejection, harm and abuse and often profoundly negative experiences of organisations.

At the end of the workshops the young people presented their work to 20 of their peers as well as youth workers and invited public guests.

The workshops continually explored socialisation, influence and obedience looking at peer pressure, the media, fashion, music, friends, money and politics. The narratives and settings came directly from the participants, dealing with ideas they wanted to explore. They developed different theatrical skills in devising using physicality, mime and vocal skills.

This work was a great experience for the company and for the young people who developed their confidence, team work and communication skills.
