FREE After School drama Clubs for young people in school years 7-9
The drama clubs run in three accessible community spaces around Tower Hamlets, so are perfect for those who live further from Half Moon Theatre. These targeted groups act as an early intervention for vulnerable young people and use drama to build confidence, make friends and creatively engage with their peers. Each term the young people explore topics which are relevant to them and create a 'sharing', which families and friends are invited to watch in an informal setting. The clubs run in the following locations:
- Monday: Harford Centre, 115 Harford Street, E1 4FG, 4.30pm – 6.30pm
- Wednesday: Granby Community Centre, 37 St Matthew’s Row, E2 6DT, 4.30pm – 6.30pm
- Thursday: The Reach Community Centre, 11 Oliphant Street, E14 0GB, 4.30pm – 6.30pm
To request a place on the FREE after school club, please send the details of the family member to malachi@halfmoon.org.uk, Tel: 0207 709 8905, so that they can get in touch directly. A family member will need to complete registration form too, but Malachi and their team can help with this over the phone if that’s helpful.
