Dark Horse Theatre has a few places remaining or the right candidates for ‘The Actor’s Studio’ – actor training for people aged 18+ with a learning disability.
Dark Horse are an Arts Council National Portfolio organisation and a national touring theatre company. They produce new work and also train actors with learning disabilities to work in their own productions and films and TV.
This is a unique opportunity to work with a highly regarded producing theatre company.
This vocational course will run at their base, The Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9.45am to 3.00pm during term time from September 2014 to July 2015. Fees are just £30.00 per day.
Successful students enjoy working physically, and with other people and are able to show that they have a real enthusiasm for the job of acting. Candidates need also to either be independent travellers or working towards that goal.
The very talented ‘Up Club’ have made a short film to illustrate how trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome) occurs, it was released on the eve of World Down Syndrome Day, 21.03 as a celebration. The Huddersfield based drama club has had over 17,000 hits to date!
Ruben Reuter narrates this educational and informative film which also stars many more HDSSG members.
Well done to all at Shabang Inclusive Learning & Mediapreview on such a brilliant production.

You may already be familiar with Max from seeing his brilliant blog ‘Living Life To The Max!’ right here on our website. You may also know he’s been doing some brilliant work placements, including his latest as part of the ‘Bridging The Gap’ project with Kirklees Local Television.
Max has a real passion for all things film & TV and so when this placement came together for him he was thrilled. Instead of me writing about it, why not watch instead!
Max Lockwood is 19 and has been bullied on public transport and also over the internet. He decided to make a webcast as part of his placement with KLTV on Cyber Bullying and Bullying and interviewed colleagues who have also been bullied.
Don’t deal with bullying alone – think about talking to someone you trust like a parent, carer or teacher. They can help you report the bullying and be there to listen to you. Having someone to talk things through with is really important – it can make you feel less alone and more confident to deal with the situation.
Wonderful work Max.
