Free acting workshops to form part of BBC Blast tour
Theatre company Tangled Feet is to run free workshops for young people as part of the Mayor’s Thames Festival 2010.
Tangled Feet’s workshops, aimed at building confidence among young people aged 13 to 19 in comedy, improvisation and circus skills, are running as part of BBC Blast, the Corporation’s youth creativity service.
The Blast Tour, taking place for three days from September 10, will be part of the Mayor’s Thames Festival and will also include dance classes and masterclasses in television presenting.
Julia Sherman, Editor for BBC Blast said: “The idea of being creative can be pretty daunting, if you don’t consider yourself to be particularly artistic. But in fact there’s some creativity in all of us and sometimes all you need is a bit of inspiration. BBC Blast is all about inspiring young people to explore their own creativity, through technology and interactivity.”
All workshops and showcases are free. More information can be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/blast/events.
