Classes and regular groups

It’s not possible to run our regular face-to-face classes just now, but we continue to run several projects online. Groups meeting virtually include Saturday Citizens, Friday Club, and Off The Page.

Young Co. continue to meet online and are creating a series of short films exploring how lockdown restrictions are affecting young people’s lives and mental health in their new project, New Shoots.

Karen Dunbar’s Spoken Word Club was another opportunity for our extended family of participants to come together online through a series of workshops.

We look forward to in-person classes returning when government guidelines allow, including Nightschool and our Drama Classes for Young People.

In the community

Remaining connected to our communities has been a vital part of our work since the pandemic hit. The Learning Team continue to catch up with groups online, as well as making socially distant visits to individuals that are digitally excluded.

New projects and groups have also been developed in direct response to Covid-19 restrictions. Through My Window supports women experiencing isolation, whilst Off The Page and In The Gorbals offers sociable online sessions for those living in the local community of the theatre.

Education

To support drama teachers under current Covid restrictions, our new pilot project of live workshops on Zoom offers teachers a practical insight into directing to develop tools to use immediately in the classroom.

We also have range of free educational resource packs, blogs and interviews created for teachers.

Support our work

At the Citizens Theatre, we believe that theatre and drama have the potential to transform people’s lives. As a registered Scottish charity we depend on donations, this is all the more important as we feel the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. Donate now.
