Stammering Workshops Spring-Summer 2008 |
Free drama workshops for young people who stammer
Do you stammer?
Are you aged 16-30?
TAG, in association with the British Stammering Association Scotland (BSA Scotland) will be running a series of FREE drama and creative arts workshops, as part of a pilot project for young people who stammer. Workshops will be based at the Citizens' Theatre.
Cian Bell, who now volunteers for BSA Scotland, took part in workshops last year, he said:
"I had the privilege to take part in some taster workshops and I can only say they unleashed unknown aspects of my personality and changed my whole perspective on communication. It was hilarious and very entertaining to watch friends express themselves in such a wonderful and whacky way!"
This pilot will involve a programme, of free weekly evening workshops at the Citizens' Theatre, running throughout Spring/Summer 2008. Relaxed sessions will offer a space to explore self-expression through games, discussion and improvisation.
The outcome of these workshops will inform the development of a new collaborative project, Outspoken between BSA Scotland & TAG, for which funds are currently being raised.
The first part of the fundraising campaign has already been successful with a commitment by the Scottish Arts Council to a grant of £19,422. This grant is subject to the successful outcome of current applications for the matched funding for the project.
The project will include the commission and development of a new play to challenge the stigma attached to stammering. The initial development period for the production will be in autumn 2008 and the production will then tour Scotland in 2009. Participants from these drama workshops will be invited to form a core group to inform and support the project when it gets underway.
It doesn't matter whether you stammer a little or a lot, often or only occasionally...
Join fellow 'stammerheids' in a supportive and creative atmosphere that will boost your self-confidence and communication skills. You don't need to have any experience of drama.
