Adult Theatre Workshop

The Adult Theatre Workshop runs at Salisbury Arts Centre from Thursday 14 January to Thursday 25 February 2027. It's a course for anyone wanting to explore and develop their acting and performance skills, and it's open to people of any age or experience, so you don't need to have stepped foot on a stage before to join in.

The workshop is part of 'Take Part', the programme run by the Take Part team at Wiltshire Creative. They describe it as the way they bring the Salisbury Arts Centre's season to life, working with local artists and creative practitioners to put something on for the community. It's not a one-off thing either; the sessions run across performing arts, visual arts, writing and meditation, so this theatre workshop sits alongside a wider range of creative activities happening at the centre.

As for what it's actually about, the Take Part team describe the sessions as building confidence, encouraging self-expression and supporting wellbeing, learning and social connection for people of any age or experience. That's a fair bit of ground to cover, but it gives you a sense of what they're aiming for: it's as much about the social side and the personal growth as it is about the acting itself. If you've ever wanted to give performance a go but weren't sure where to start, this is exactly the kind of thing that opens the door.

It kicks off on Thursday 14 January and runs through to Thursday 25 February, so it's a good stretch of sessions to get stuck into rather than a single afternoon. If you're interested, you'll find it at Salisbury Arts Centre in the heart of the city.
