Drama therapy workshops
Our students have created
a series of drama therapy
workshops, which provide
young people with invaluable
strategies and exercises to
cope with anxiety, stress and
depression.
Incorporating drama and
drama therapy techniques
such as relaxation, emotion
memory and forum theatre,
workshops help to raise
awareness of mental health
issues from a young age.
Music workshops
Our Higher Education
Music students are offering
educational music workshops
to school groups in December
and March each year,
covering a variety of topics
from subjects such as science,
history and geography.
Just let us know the topic and
we’ll create the workshop.
