Home Young Creatives (11–30) Education Rehearsal for Life

Develop essential skills

Rehearsal for Life is our programme of drama-based workshops that helps develops essential skills for life.

Led by experienced facilitators, students take part in drama games and creative activities that help them explore real-life situations.

About our approach:

  • Encourages collaboration, communication and creative thinking
  • Utilises tools and techniques that have real-world application
  • No drama or artistic experience is required

We create a safe environment for personal expression and the opportunity to develop confidence, communication and interpersonal skills.

This programme is particularly aimed at supporting young people who are not in mainstream education, however it can be suitable for any group that would benefit from the chance to get out from behind a desk and work practically.

"The Roundhouse provides a space where students feel safe to express their emotions, whilst also developing the skills to be able to understand both the feelings and body language of others. Thus as a result, the Roundhouse have truly helped students to develop important fundamental social skills. One student stated that she looked forward to the Roundhouse sessions the most of all her interventions, as it was the most fun and the teachers that delivered the programme were really patient. Since reintegrating back to school, she has been far more calm and explained she feels this has come from her being more confident in understanding and empathising with how others are feeling."
— Teacher at CRIB
