We’re offering London schools a free, 60-minute taster drama workshop for Key Stage 3 and 4 pupils throughout July as part of Centre 59, a creative partnership from Roundhouse and 59% Productions, spearheaded by Roundhouse Associate Artistic Director Daniel Kaluuya.

The workshop will be focused on the key principles of Centre 59’s methodology; exploration and play, using text and improvisation techniques to create stories.

By taking part in our workshop, pupils will:

  • Gain an introduction to drama and practice, including core skills such as improvisation and storytelling.
  • Have fun whilst working with script and playing drama games!
  • Grow confidence within a new skill set.

What is Centre 59?

Centre 59 is a home for young people to grow in the artform of storytelling in theatre and the performing arts. The mission of Centre 59 is to build young artists who, through a programme of writing, acting, directing and producing, learn how to share their own stories with their own voices.

Centre 59 is a creative partnership from Roundhouse and 59% Productions, founded by Roundhouse Associate Artistic Director Daniel Kaluuya. Learn more here.

After attending drama classes at the Roundhouse 20 years ago, establishing Centre 59 in my first act as Associate Artistic Director is a full circle moment. It is a great opportunity to pay forward what I appreciated receiving in my own youth – and creating Centre 59 is the perfect way to do that. With shared values of community, taking action and legacy, Roundhouse is the ideal partner. I am excited about how the next generation will be inspired, grow and benefit from what we will all build together.
