Youth Theatre Tutor
January - February 2008
A Paper Tiger Theatre Project
For 11 - 18 year olds

This project formed part of my assessment for my Masters in Arts in Social Contexts at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, and was designed to give twenty young people who were on the waiting list to join regular LyT classes the opportunity to take part in a series of five drama workshops created exclusively for them.

I co-delivered this project with actress and fellow student, Amanda Beveridge, and we were supported by professional mentor Steve Small. We used David Harrower's new version of Luigi Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author as the inspiration for the sessions, and over the five weeks we explored improvisation, devising, script-work, character development and creativity.
