Arts and Cultural Activities

Learn to act introduces people to a broad range of acting techniques. Specially geared to those with little or no acting experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and unthreatening, and great emphasis is placed on developing the confidence and abilities of people who may initially be a little apprehensive.

B — WORLD CULTURE DAY
Brazilian street percussion workshop from 2.30 to 4.30 — samba rhythms with the taste of carnival. Whether you are an experienced musician or a complete beginner, you will be creating complex exotic rhythms in no time. Later, from 3.45 to 4.45, an African storytelling session with narration, poetry and proverbs from Ghana and Nigeria. Suitable for all the family.

C — SCOTTISH DANCING
It's fun. It's good exercise. We have classes for dancers of all abilities, and previous experience is not essential. All you need to bring is a pair of soft shoes and enthusiasm. Classes are held in a number of places at different times. A warm welcome is guaranteed.
