Building Confidence Through Drama

Thornhill Health and Well Being Project (THAWP) are currently working with Winchester University to run a series of drama workshops, aiming to improve the self esteem and confidence of people in Southampton .

Due to the success of last year's drama course, the group will be meeting again every Wednesday 1-3pm at The Natterbox, Hinkler Road , Thornhill. The cost is £1 a week, with a light lunch included.

The group partake in improvisations and act-out scenarios that mimic everyday life occurrences. A participant, who attended the workshops, last year commented:

“It was very friendly, sociable and fun. At the end of the workshops my confidence and self esteem had risen and it has helped me to approach everyday life with the knowledge that I can stand up for myself. I am not afraid to speak up. The sessions allowed us all to explore our feelings in a non threatening way.”
