Theatre Workshop for Adults

A friendly drop-in Theatre Workshop for Adults. Each class will begin with a warm-up and then we will work together as an ensemble on Voice, Movement, Scripted scenes and Improvisation to grow your acting skills and self-confidence. Please wear clothes you can move in. All abilities and ages welcome (18+).

Emma Dewhurst is a professional actress with a long and varied career in theatre, TV and film. She has worked with a number of exceptional theatre practitioners, including directors Richard Eyre (National Theatre), Roger Michell (Almeida Theatre) and Nancy Meckler (Shared Experience). In 2020 she became an accredited Transformational Life Coach and has also since earned a qualification in Group Coaching.

Emma is also an experienced teacher and facilitator of groups. She was a Visiting Tutor at Lewisham College on their BTEC drama course; led drama workshops for River Drama, a weekly group for SEN children; and more recently has combined her acting and coaching skills to facilitate communication and public speaking skills for young adults.

Emma’s style is warm, friendly and inclusive. All ages are welcome (18+) to the Workshops and although this is a drop-in class, so you can join at any time, a steady group has emerged from the more regular participants.

This is a ‘Pay What You Feel’ community class supported by Whitstable Umbrella Community Centre. Donations are appreciated, with a suggested minimum of £5, but please don’t let lack of means prevent you from attending!

Please wear clothes you can move in.

Spring Term 2026 dates: Tuesday 6 Jan to 31 March (with no class on 17 Feb). This term we are working towards an informal sharing for family & friends on 31^st March (no obligation to take part if you are a new participant)

If you are thinking of joining the class, please contact Emma to ensure there is a place available.
