Gulbenkian Performance Company
If you want to build up your performance skills why not join our Gulbenkian Performance Company for anyone aged 19-25 (plus school leavers aged 18).
Meeting on a weekly basis during University term times, we will spend a couple of hours a week creating work as a group in a fun, relaxed environment, led by experienced director and facilitator Emma Willatts. There is no pressure to have performed before, and you do not need to be at University to take part.
Monday evenings 18:30 – 20:30 during University term time, either at Gulbenkian or a space on the University of Kent campus, starting on Monday 30th September
This group will meet every Monday evening between 6.30 and 8.30pm, at the University of Kent campus, to develop a range of acting skills, work towards specific goals and performances and respond to exciting pre-professional briefs, as well as being considered for professional opportunities when they arise.
At Gulbenkian, we think it is important that our groups are accessible, therefore we will not be auditioning for GPC but we do ask that you are able to attend for the majority of the weeks so we can work towards a high-quality end product each term.
For term 1 (Sep-Dec) you will be working with resident Gulbenkian facilitator and director, Emma Willatts, alongside award-winning Kent based company, Half A String, to develop an enhanced wrap around experience for Gulbenkian’s Christmas show, The Snowsmith
There are a few spaces still available, book now!
These weekly workshops are FREE. However, there is the option to donate either 100% or 50% of the costs which will go to supporting our Creative Engagement work with young people.
