Wednesday 21st January 2026 in the Workshop Theatre at National Youth Theatre
18:00 PM start (The workshop is approximately 1 hour long)
Join us for a workshop led by the Stepping Up Leadership students. This workshop focuses on finding your sense of play and joy through drama. Our Stepping Up leadership students have been learning facilitation skills throughout their time on the course and this workshop is their chance to put those skills into practice.
Stepping Up is NYT's Level 2 accredited course run in partnership with United Colleges Group. The learners learn core acting and facilitation skills in their time on the course. The course contains two pathways, the acting pathway where learners focus on actor training; and the leadership pathway where learners learn about acting, facilitation and stage directing.
