home ed workshops

We’re excited to offer a rich programme of drama workshops especially for home-educated young people. Our sessions give performers the chance to develop acting, improvisation and performance skills in a lively, supportive environment – whether they’re working towards a GCSE in Drama or simply want to enjoy theatre, make friends and grow in confidence.

​

At The Man In The Moon, we believe drama is about so much more than just putting on a show. Through practical activities, scripts, games and devising work, our workshops help participants to:

​

• Think creatively and problem-solve on their feet

• Communicate clearly and with expression

• Work as part of a team, supporting and encouraging each other

• Build resilience, empathy and self-assurance

 

All our Home Ed workshops take place at Haslemere Methodist Church Hall, a welcoming space where theatre-makers feel safe to take risks, try new ideas and be themselves.
