Enable Get Dramatic

Over 10 years ago the Enable team started the service’s drama group and from the outset it was very popular, putting on lots of public shows including a performance of Grease.

Sadly, the group didn’t last but now in 2013, the team have decided to go for it again! The new group has been meeting for 5 weeks now, every Tuesday 11am till 2pm.

The team thought it was really important to reintroduce the group because music and movement allows people who may find it difficult to express themselves to really thrive. Currently the group has 11 members who are all supported by the Enable team.

Over the last 5 weeks, the group have been working on communication, interaction, confidence building and how to create a character.

Some of our members have taken part in drama before but others are newcomers and the group is really starting to gel now which is great! As many of you may know, Enable will be 20 years old in 2014 and the drama group are hoping to celebrate this great event with a public show, so watch this space!

At the moment, all members of the group are female which isn’t a problem, but it would be great to have some men in the group to make it even more diverse.
