YOUTH THEATRE
The first Dewsbury Arts Group Youth Drama classes were established over twenty years ago. Classes for young people are run on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings at the Group's Lower Peel Street premises. The aim is to give the members experience of drama exercises, movement, and improvisation together with an introduction to scripted work.
Enrolment for the classes is open to anyone from the age of 11. Classes
for new youth members are run on Saturday mornings beginning in September
each year with breaks for Christmas and Easter. The classes culminate
with an evening of productions in May. All youth members who wish
will have the opportunity to "take to the stage", and there are many
opportunities for youth members to be involved in the Arts Group's
major productions.
During the season occasional workshops from visiting
drama professionals are organised. Recently these have included workshops
on Circus Arts, Mask making and, of course, acting skills.
