This Week at NYT | Masterclasses and Magazines!

Posted 29 Jul 2023 by Joe Duggan

Welcome to another weekly round up of everything that’s been happening at NYT this past week!

Masterclasses

On Monday our October Masterclasses got underway in Manchester, Norwich and at Greycoat Hospital School in London. We welcomed a mix of current NYT members, and non members to our six day masterclasses in Acting for Screen, Audition Technique, and Performing Shakespeare. Our masterclasses run at various points throughout the year, and our next round will be in February half term.

Some of our brilliant course leaders this time round include: Kirsty Woodward, Ste Johnston, Paul David Gough, Abigail Rose, Cathy Owen and Tim Hoare!

Take a look at some photos from this week’s activities

Spoken Word Competition

This week we launched our first ever Spoken Word Poetry competition, open to anyone and everyone aged 14-25! Our competition centres on the theme ‘Find Your Voice’, and our three winners will be invited to perform at the inaugural National Youth Theatre spoken word event in 2018, as well as having their poems showcased on our social media.
