Theatre Workshop for Adults
A friendly drop-in acting skills class. Each class includes a warm-up & theatre exercises and then we might work together on Voice, Movement, Scripted scenes and Improvisation. Led by experienced actor and coach, Emma Dewhurst. Pay What You Feel (donations much appreciated!).
Emma Dewhurst is a professional actor 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).
Emma is also an experienced teacher and facilitator of groups. She has taught acting to animators (to improve their animation!); 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.
In 2020 she became an accredited Transformational Life Coach in both 1:1 and Group Coaching and she regularly brings these skills to the facilitation of the class.
Emma’s style is warm, friendly and inclusive. All ages are welcome (18+). The class is drop-in so you can join at any time. Over time a regular core group of participants has grown, as well as those who can’t make every session.
This is a ‘Pay What You Feel’ community class supported by Whitstable Umbrella Centre. Donations are appreciated.
Please wear clothes you can move in.
Autumn Term 2026 dates: Tuesday 1 September to 8 December (half term 27 October – no class).
