Performance Writing
Are you interested in writing for the stage? If so, we are looking to set up a new young writers group that will look at creating new scripts for performance. The group would be led by experienced professionals who would guide and mentor you as you develop your writing practice.
Boys Do Dance
Some of the most ground breaking dancers of this generation have been male. We are looking to set up an all new dance group for boys age 12+. The group will be lead by an experienced Dance Artist, teaching dance techniques and approaches that will build skill and confidence.
If you are interested in being part of either of these new groups please contact Helen Doherty on helen.doherty@macrobert.org
