HATCH
A place to crack open young peoples creativity
_________________________________________________
HATCH is Tin Shed Theatre Co’s official drama class for young people with an interest in performance art and theatre making.
We offer HATCH as an alternative to the usual extra-curricular drama opportunities available to young people.
Exploring the subject in an exciting, fun and socially enriching way, we want to offer young people a voice and influence in the work they make, whilst learning about new forms of contemporary and devising theatre.
Part skills training, part performance making; participants of varying abilities and experiences can come together to play, learn, grow and perform as individuals and as a group.
Imparting our own companies ethos and approach to making work our core aim is to inspire and have fun.

WHERE & HOW
Place – The Riverfront Theatre, Newport
As a company who operate professionally from out of Newport, we are committed to making this work happen within the city. With the support of The Riverfront we are able to provide these workshop provisions at the lowest possible rate.
By being a part of The Riverfront we are able to offer young people a creative and professional environment in which to exist.
With the use of their studio, basement and performances spaces we hope to inspire young people to envision a plausible future working within the theatre industry. With exposure to almost all professional elements of “making work happen”, HATCH students do not only perform, they write, direct and even tech their own shows.
How – Hatch is currently unfunded by any larger organisation. The money each participant pays goes towards the three workshop facilitators wages, and materials for the running of the workshops, and the performances themselves.
