Wokingham

Organised by Wokingham District Council’s youth service, a new performing arts session for young people, aged 12 to 19 years, offers them the chance to take part in a variety of dance styles, such as jazz, tap, modern and street, as well as singing, drama and all aspects of performing skills. The project is run by a management group of young people and supported by Wokingham district council’s youth workers.

Members of the management group Hannah Crowhurst, aged 14 and Jess Wood, aged13, both from Wokingham, said: “It’s a lot of fun and a really friendly crowd. Nothing is compulsory but members have to be committed to performing arts. It’s run by young people and for young people and it works really well. It’s open to everyone aged 12 to 19 years, so if you are interested you should come down and find out what we’re about.”

The project also boasts a new lighting and sound system, which will be put to good use at a cabaret evening on November 25 and a performance of Cinderella in January.

When: Monday evenings
Time: 7pm to 9:30pm
Where: Wokingham Youth Centre, 35 Reading Road, Wokingham
