Drama workshops that explore wellbeing.
We take a person-centered approach, tailoring our sessions to meet the specific needs of each group.
Contact us about socially prescribed opportunities and how to get your groups involved in our classes and courses in London.
Adults need a space to play too
We work collaboratively with adults to reconnect with their community, themselves and their ability to play and have fun. Think of your weekly yoga class but instead it’s drama games and devising to release your weekly tension and have some laughs! Whether you’re part of Balancing Act for two hours or you come back every week everyone’s welcome as part of our community.
Our participants currently range from 18 to 84 years old. Some are professional performers and others have never acted before - all are welcome. We are partnered with Westminster Council and the community hubs and offer two free sessions a week: Tuesday at Charing Cross Library, 7-9pm, and Friday at Victoria Library, 4:30-6pm. We look forward to welcoming you.
We are lucky enough to be able to offer the chance to perform in new writing created by our participants a few times a year. Past productions have been at the Tramshed, the Cockpit and Soho Square.
Participant Reflections
Everyone was given the same space, direction and encouragement. No sense of having to be good at something.
I liked the free exploration. It didn’t feel overly structured, but it made me feel liberated.
I loved when we were all doing the same dance together, being silly, because I think it created a sense of community and togetherness.
I like that it was multidimensional, with movement , dance, singing and storytelling. I liked the opportunity to be loud and big. The emphasis is on play and allowing ourselves to be silly.” Basically I liked everything!
The wellbeing aspect was beneficial as we left our troubles outside. I enjoyed singing and being imaginative.
