What we'll do
Doors open from 9.45am. Upon arrival at Echo Youth Theatre, your child will be welcomed in by our Youth Volunteers giving them their name badge. After that you will approach the front desk and sign in with the Room Lead before leaving your child to enjoy their day. Our workshops will start with some drama games to gently settle the children into the environment. During this workshop your child will learn two of the following theatre skills: acting, dance, design, face paint, musical theatre, physical theatre, singing, and stage combat. Over lunch children will complete a themed food activity. At 2.45pm there will be a short showcase to parents/carers with the children going home at 3pm. Snack and lunch will be provided to every participant.

About your mentor
Echo Youth Theatre
Entry-Level Theatre Skills Workshops
Echo Youth Theatre offers HAF funded theatre skill workshops to means-tested free school meal eligible families. We run workshops for 7-12yrs and 12-16yrs. Participants can expect a mix of engaging and fun activities. Each of our workshops include two of the following theatre skills: acting, dance, design, face paint, musical theatre, physical theatre, singing, and stage combat. Participants will rotate through themed food and craft activities over lunchtime.
Support within our setting
We do not usually offer SEND support within our 12-16yr workshops, however we are open to conversation regarding this. Our 12-16yr workshops are best suited to SEND participants who attend mainstream school with minimal support or those that successfully attend theatre-based extra-curricular activities. Please note the following regarding our workshops. We do not have a breakout room available and therefore our environment may not be suited to all children, especially those who have high-level sensory seeking tendencies. Our venue is wheelchair accessible, however our workshops may not be suited to all wheelchair users due to space and adaptability; please contact us for more information regarding this. If the workshop your booking is Dance based, the main part of the day will be spent dancing.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.Due to new regulations, on the day no shows may result in cancellation of all future Echo Youth Theatre workshop places for your child, including places during the remainder of the Easter period.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
