Drama@Drylaw is a friendly, informal group, facilitated by Freda O’Byrne, which comes together to move, chat, laugh and explore everyday life through simple drama activities.
The work they do is based on familiar, real-life situations, so it’s great for building confidence, communication skills and vocabulary – including for people who already have a good level of English and want to practise in a natural, supportive way. Everyone’s contributions are valued, and people bring their own experiences to the group.
Each session begins with gentle, mindful bodywork to help us relax and feel comfortable working together. There’s also time to catch up, share news and enjoy being part of a group before moving into creative activities.
The work is different every week, so if you miss a session because of appointments or family commitments, you can drop straight back in the following week.
There’s no acting, no scripts and no pressure to perform – just a chance to try something new in a safe, encouraging space.
Drama@Drylaw meets every Tuesday at the centre 10:30am – 12:30pm.
We have another delicious menu planned for this Monday’s Community Lunch!
Come along 11:30am – 12:30pm for some baked tatties (different toppings available) and a fancy bread and butter pudding for dessert. You’ll have to come along to find out what makes it fancy!
Our Community Lunch is free for everyone, and you can sit in or take away.
We also have our free breakfast cafe running 9 – 10:30am with hot breakfast rolls and hot drinks too.
A big thank you to everyone who came along to the cafe last week – we fed 26 people! Our busiest day yet!!
Our next Positive Climate Film Club screening will be on Tuesday 26th May 18.00-20.45.
This time it is a more serious evening with the People’s Emergency Briefing which is an up to date fact check on the latest scientific and ecological (nature) information within the climate and nature crises.
This briefing style film charts our UK and global situation across many different topics such as food, transport, weather patterns and nature health from experts in each field, followed by discussion by well known faces such as Chris Packham and Jennifer Saunders.
It will be an interesting night and we are inviting politicians across the parties to respond too.
Book your tickets early here – this will be at full capacity!
