Free beginner acting class for Scarborough lads who either want to try out acting for the first time or re-learn the basics.

Ever fancied giving acting a go? Or perhaps you’ve done a bit before and fancy getting back into it? Join The Growth House for a free, practical acting workshop where we’ll explore what it takes to bring a character to life.

We’ll be working with scenes and scripts, exploring the thoughts, feelings and motivations behind a character’s actions. Using acting techniques and our imagination , we’ll discover how to understand a character’s world and bring honesty to their story.

There’ll be opportunities to experiment, work with others, have a laugh and perhaps discover something about yourself along the way.

You don’t need any acting experience, and there’s no pressure to perform in front of an audience. Come along, have a brew, meet some new people and give something different a go.

What to expect

Practical acting exercises suitable for complete beginners

Working with scenes and scripts

Exploring characters, emotions and motivations

Discovering how imagination and personal experience can bring truth to a performance

Who’s it for?

We’re particularly keen to encourage men over 18 to get involved, but everyone is welcome. Whether you’ve never acted before or you’re looking to revisit some familiar techniques, we’d love to have you along.

BIG STRONG MAN

This event is part of our BIG STRONG MAN project - a community-led men’s programme delivered across Scarborough. Through creative workshops, we’re bringing people together to try new things, explore different perspectives and build connections. At the heart of the programme is a belief that creativity can help us better understand ourselves and the people around us.
