CHILDREN will have the opportunity to work with a professional director to learn new acting skills as part of a Burnley Youth Theatre summer workshop.

The classes for youngsters in school years one, two and three, will take place from Monday, August 4 to Friday August 8 from 10am to 4pm each day.

The students will use drama, movement and music to bring their creative stories to life.

During the week, the group will create a short piece which they will then have the chance to present to family and friends on the final day.

The aim of the course is to explore childrens’ creative side and boost their confidence.

The cost of the week is £45 and a maximum of 15 children will be accepted onto the course. Payment is required on booking.

Up to three free places will also be offered.
