We never want cost to be a barrier to taking part. If you'd like to find out more about our bursary scheme and ways we can help you to join in with our work, drop us a line at leap@cft.org.uk for more info or a confidential chat.

Get Into It!

Every Monday during term time, you have a chance to learn new skills and socialise in our Get Into It! sessions. Join us for Acting, Singing or Dancing workshops in a supportive environment, no previous experience or auditions required.

Get Into It! Spring term begins on 8 January and runs until 25 March 2024. If you'd like to join Get Into It! but term has already begun then drop us an email, as long as we have space you can join a group up until half term (12 February). Booking for the Spring term will open at 10am on Monday 4 December 2023.

New for January 2024!

Take your Playwriting to the next level in this new short-term, intensive course Develop Your Play which takes place each Tuesday during the Spring term.

Explore key elements of writing for the stage including characterisation, dialogue, structure and subtext, whilst simultaneously crafting your own unique voice.

Drop-in sessions

Each Monday we host drop-in sessions throughout the day. Come every week or as and when you can make it. No commitment required and you can book in advance or, as the name suggests, you can simply drop-in on the day.
