Interested in joining the company for the new term? Then contact Colin Snell, GYTC, at the Grand Theatre, Blackpool, in the first instance or attend the first workshop on Wednesday 18th January at the Lawrence House Studio Theatre.
The GYTC is split into two age groups: 11 – 14 year olds and 15 – 19 year olds but anyone outside these age groups at the time of joining is welcome to contact Colin Snell. Workshop sessions take place normally on Wednesdays, with ten sessions per term, and last for 90 mins. 11- 14 year olds 6.00 – 7.30 pm and 15 – 19 year olds 7.30 pm – 9.00 pm and cover improvisation, scripted and devised work and are designed to encourage solo and collaborative working, creativity, confidence, self-esteem and performance skills. The GYTC is also looking for company members interested in developing their technical and administrative skills and not necessarily interested in being on stage.
