New Voices

New Voices is a 9 week playwriting programme for 15-18 year olds who are interested in creative writing and theatre.

You don’t need to have any experience in drama or theatre to take part – just an interest in creative writing and a desire to see your work performed on stage.

Each week, participants will get to explore fun creative writing exercises and test out script ideas with peers. Participants will also receive short writing tasks to complete at home during the programme.

The New Voices programme will finish with a showcase of the participants’ work on the Hawk’s Well stage on Saturday 14th December at 2pm.

Feedback from previous New Voices participants:

“I feel I have grown as an artist because seeing your work come to life on a stage really has an affect on you, it gives you a huge sense of confidence and pride.”

“I found it very beneficial how us 'New Voices' were not stuck to a rigid schedule and could talk more freely in the later stages of the programme. This helped us exchange ideas and suggestions for improvements, but also allowed us to simply enjoy ourselves talking with one another.”

“Thank you so so much for this wonderful experience it's incredibly beneficial and I would 100 percent recommend it to other young people.”
