Drama Workshops

David Johnston and Ava Hunt have both worked with Augusto Boal and will often use Forum Theatre as a basis to empower and inspire participants. However, we also work with a range of specialist professional arts practitioners from different cultural backgrounds and art forms to complement and develop the core of our work.

We regularly work with Creative Partnerships in Nottingham, Derby and Derbyshire creating highly innovative residencies using drama and theatre skills.

Past projects have included:  Transition, Crime, Drugs Education, Refugees and Racism, Environmental issues, HIV/AIDS, Teenage Pregnancy, breast cancer, Bullying, confidence and self-esteem, conflict resolution, listening and speaking skills, and workshops that support the development of GCSE drama and filming skills.

"I was particularly thrilled with how responsive usually "quiet" children were in the workshop."

Tailor Made Workshops

Tangere Arts have created hundreds of tailor made drama workshops over the years that utilise a range of tried and tested drama and theatre techniques to challenge and empower young people.

We are happy to create workshop programmes that will suit any curriculum area for primary school children, secondary school pupils, youth clubs and adults in community environments.
