Based at our Conway Centres: Anglesey we have an excellent range of facilities for both the Performing and Visual Arts. We offer high quality education aimed at encouraging creativity, providing opportunity & raising attainment.

The GCSE Drama Residential is an exciting three-day course designed to support students in the Devising component of their GCSE exam. Aimed at Year 10 and 11 pupils from schools across the UK, this highly practical weekend consists of a series of workshops led by professional theatre makers and educators. These experts work across a range of styles, with a strong focus on devising.

Students will be guided through the core elements of devising, from stimulus to performance, with workshops covering:

Creating Physical Theatre responses, generating dialogue while avoiding clichés, developing a visual performance language, exploring abstraction in performance and taking a structured, episodic approach to devising. 

The weekend is led by Daniel Cambridge, a teacher, actor, and theatre-maker with a long-standing association with the Conway Centre. A team of experienced practitioners will explore a variety of techniques and skills essential to devised theatre. Through this immersive experience, students will generate material that can be directly applied to their own exam work.

Regular tutors include: Dr. Lindsey Brocklebank (Shockout Arts, Maelstrom), Grace Goulding (Splendid, Rambert, New Adventures), Dan Meigh (Off The Ground Theatre) and Chris Tomlinson (Turntable Theatre)
