Act Your Age is a lively adult drama group for ages 55+, in which drama games and theatre skills are used to explore theatre making and devising. But this is not your usual amateur dramatic group! Using Forest Forge’s ensemble theatre ethos to explore storytelling, movement, character and improvisation in a safe and supportive environment that is full of laughter. Sessions last an hour and a half, and are always followed up with a cuppa and a chat. “The best of drama groups! Learn, make new friends, laugh a great deal and you will wonder why it has taken you so long to join. I have been a member for ten years and the class is a highlight of my week! Don’t worry you don’t need to know how to act. It is like a playgroup for adults!” Ringwood Act Your Age Participant.
