We have two brilliant opportunities for young people to develop their drama and performing arts skills.

We are delighted to welcome Ameer Choudrie to lead a Performing Arts Workshop for Refugee week on Saturday 23 June 2-4pm aimed at young people aged 12-16 years old.
Ameer is a British actor who has worked on a range of projects including adverts, a music video with the Kaiser Chiefs as well as film and stage work. He recently performed with Rifco Associates The Srivastavs in the Rifco showcase ‘Back to the Day-Timer’.
An experienced drama workshop and performing arts coach, he has been running a variety of acting workshops in both Primary and Secondary / Further Education for a number of years. Ameer is also a Qualified Teacher with QTS and has worked in various schools and colleges across Berkshire.
The workshop will be looking at themes of migration generally as well as specifically being a refugee and will include elements of drama and movement. It will use as a starting point a poem called “What they took with them”. The workshop will end with a sharing for parents and family.
The workshop is available to book online on The Curve website and there are only 20 places available! Please do encourage your students to book!
