Although the young people's drama group has been running since 2001 and various community projects have also occurred under the SAVVY banner since that time, the 'ADULTS' strand to the company is still brand new.

Since Autumn 2007 SAVVY is delighted to have not only hosted several adult (and young adult) acting & theatre masterclasses, but to have also made links with the London Playwrights Collective in mounting the first Adult Company production in conjunction with Sutton's IMAGINE Festival in May 2008.

What's coming up?

About Our Classes

Very often, the only option open to adults (not wishing to pursue their interest in theatre professionally) is Amateur Dramatic groups. Although many of these groups provide rich and exciting environments, there is still often a lack of time to explore and study the craft of acting and various performance techniques.

The aim of SAVVY's Adult Classes are to:

• give local adults the opportunity to study the craft of acting in a non-threatening environment
• to generate interest is in the local community to form a unique adult performance company - in accordance with SAVVY'S COMPANY'S OBJECTIVES and based on the structure and success of the young company

Previous classes have included:
• 8-Week Acting Course (culminating in a showcase performance as part of Sutton's IMAGINE Festival in May 2010.)
• Acting with a Partner (the art of listening)
• Shakespeare's Monologues
• Character Choices with a Given Script
• Building a Character through Improvisation

All of SAVVY'S Adult Classes are aimed at:

• young professionals (aged 19-29years) wanting to further their performance skills
• non-professionals who are wanting to discover more about the craft of acting or are interested in joining the profession
• anyone (over19years) who enjoys performing and the skills it develops
