Angel Shed is an inclusive arts organisation based in Islington, North London. We are a space for children and young people of all abilities and backgrounds to access the transformative power of participation in the performing arts. We actively reach out to those most likely to experience exclusion including those with disabilities, mental health issues, special education needs, emotional and behavioural needs, LGBTQ+ people, young carers and those from communities experiencing racism and racial inequality. We provide 1:1 assistance for members where necessary. The workshops are run by professional facilitators, supported by a group of performing arts volunteers. We are looking for enthusiastic and dedicated theatre volunteers for: - Children’s Theatre (Mondays, 5.00 - 7.15pm) - Music Collective (Mondays, 7.00 – 9.00pm) - Youth Theatre 1 (Thursdays, 5.00 - 7.15pm) Responsibilities include working with young people to access games and exercises, enable creative responses and to teach them key theatre/music/dance skills. You do not need to be formally trained, as long as you have some skills and passion you would like to pass on to a group of young people keen to learn! Please note: All volunteers must be available for training on Monday 13th January or Thursday 16th January, 5-9pm. Term runs from Monday 20th/Thursday 23rd January until Monday 31st March and, due to the needs of our members, consistent attendance is crucial.
