Over five days, we challenge you to create a brand new piece of theatre to be performed in our very own Factory Theatre! Working with professional theatre-makers, you will need to bring your ideas, enthusiasm and energy to make sure you’re prepared to perform on the final day!
IMPORTANT: We will be based at ASHTON PARK SCHOOL, Blackmoors Lane, Bower Ashton, Bristol BS3 2JL from Tue 28 – Thu 30 August.
Existing bookers – if you have not received an email regarding the summer school, please contact bryony@tobaccofactorytheatres.com for further information.
What to Expect
Rehearsals will take place each day for five days, starting at 9.30am and running until 4.30pm. The sessions are led by skilled theatre makers with strong backgrounds in creating work with and for young people.
Please note, we have multiple practitioners working on each summer school and the performing groups will be divided by age. For example, ages 13-15 years and 16+ years. Young people will spend most of their time working with those similar in age.
