Drama and Dance Projects for Young People

MY Theatre is for young people interested in all aspects of theatre.   This summer, Moray Council’s Arts Development Team are offering young people aged 12 years and over the opportunity to spend five days with a team of arts professionals.  Working on all the aspects of staging live theatre, including drama, dance and music, participants will create their own performance piece, ‘Epic!’

No experience is necessary just lots of enthusiasm and a commitment to have a go. The course takes place from 25^th to 29^th July in Elgin Community Centre and costs £35 (£20 concession).

Dancedaze Choreography Project

An exciting opportunity for young people in Moray to participate in the creation of two new pieces of choreography.   13 – 18 year olds will explore the theme of young people choosing to or being forced out of living with their parents, using the music of Martyn Bennett.  8 – 12 year olds will explore many different dance styles to create their own journey through dance.  The new works will be premiered at an informal performance in Elgin Town Hall at the end of the week.   This   project   is open to anyone aged 8 to 18.  No dance experience is necessary just energy, enthusiasm and commitment.   Led by Jeni MacRae – Youth Dance Development Worker and other tutors the project will take place from Monday 8^th to Friday 12^th August at Elgin Town Hall and Elgin Community Centre.
