In this workshop series, we’ll break down and demystify the key components of theatre facilitation, learning how to run a room with flair, confidence and knowledge. You’ll leave with a toolkit of facilitation skills, a deeper understanding of what makes a space accessible and inclusive and a library of adaptable exercises you can return to again and again.

Participants must be able to attend all three days.
