Ignite Theatre Sessions 2024
I’m getting in touch from Dark Horse Theatre Company because in the new year we will be starting our Young Company, Ignite!
We would love people to come along to our free drama sessions, where they can learn new skills, meet new friends, showcase their talents and build their confidence!
Ignite runs as a weekend theatre school every Saturday (during term-time) across the year and is for anyone over the age of 14. It’s completely free for participants to attend and there are two different spaces that we run from. One is based at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield, and the other is at the Howlands Centre in Dewsbury.
We will run two sessions every Saturday:
Session 1 (Tailored for individuals with Autism): 10:00 – 11:30Session 2 (Suitable for all other learning disabilities): 11:45 – 13:15
If you know of anyone that might be interested or even wants to give it a go then we have an open day on Saturday the 6th of January. Completely free, you can email me to book in so we know who is attending.
I’ve attached our flyer to this email with some extra details.
If you have any questions, or you’d like to attend then please get in touch on this email (dan@darkhorsetheatre.co.uk) or give our office a ring 01484 484 441.
