“Three years ago, I would have said I was too set in my ways, too old, too late to address my fears. I now relish challenges. We are learning to see ourselves as theatre makers, playing with ideas and techniques in a growing and learning environment” Elders Company member

Regular theatre practitioner Joe Gilmour Rees will lead another fun packed session with an exciting mix of drama techniques and themes linked to our production of WUTHERING HEIGHTS. (You won’t need to have seen Wuthering Heights to get involved).
On Monday 2 March, ELDERS INSIGHTS will be led by Nickie Miles-Wildin, the director of our current Studio show CUTTIN' IT.
