Join us every Wednesday at 5pm – 7pm starting on the 24 January for 11 weeks at St Anne’s House for a chance to enjoy a free drama course culminating in a performance.
This year, the inspiration for Young Company City will be about growing up, coming of age, rites of passage. The group will be inspired by music, comedy, politics, or whichever direction you’d like to take the theme. The work will encourage experimentation, questioning, free creativity, building of skills and ensemble working.
The sessions will be running in term time only, between Wednesday 24 Jan – Wednesday 24 April.
Feel free to have a chat with Jack Young (jack.young@bricksbristol.org / 07718106953), who will be facilitating the sessions alongside Bristol Old Vic about any requirements or needs. We’d ideally have you coming a long to each session to help build the final performance, however if this is not possible please still sign up and we can chat more.

Interested in languages and meeting new people?
Everyone is welcome, whatever your language background. You don’t need to speak more than one language to attend. The only thing you need is an interest in learning more about language(s) and dialects. Perhaps you have friends, neighbours or family who use other languages.
Following sessions will be on:

7 March
21 March
28 March

All 2pm- 3.30pm
What will happen at the cafe?
We will use activities to explore what languages mean to us and use creative methods (e.g. posters or recordings) to present languages and language diversity, so that we – and others – can see and hear them. We can share our feelings and experiences with languages and language learning. And of course we will have some hot drinks and snacks!
A basic level of spoken and written English is an advantage. However, we can be creative and use translation software etc. to enable understanding.
Sign up here or give us a call on 07709 264 201.
If you have any questions you can email: multilingual.cafe.BS4@gmail.com
