Acting for Fun and Confidence

A group for anybody who is new to acting and performing but would like to give it a try.  This group has been set up by the tutors and associates of DNA Performance Resource who have been teaching acting and enabling creatives for over ten years.  We believe that ANYBODY can train to become and actor but more importantly, that encouraging creative expression is important for  self-confidence and general happiness. Over the years we have worked with a great many people who wanted to develop self confidence, improved communication skills, life long friendships and have found that joining acting and performance workshops have been the key to realising those needs. Here you will find one off events and workshops posted, as well as weekly classes and networking events. We look forward to meeting you!

Manchester Theatre Nights (& Matinees!)

This is a group for anyone who loves going to the theatre, talking about theatre, and possibly even taking part in theatre in some shape or form. We are blessed with a great selection of stage venues in and around the city, from grand old buildings (Palace Theatre, Opera House) through medium-sized high-brow establishments (Royal Exchange, HOME, The Lowry – yes I know it’s Salford!) to smaller, more intimate venues (Hope Mill, 53two & The King's Arms, also in Salford!). Throw in a smattering of other professional operations, drama schools and amateur outfits around the county and there are plenty of options to choose from. Plus there are the July festivals - the biennial Manchester International Festival and the Greater Manchester Fringe. However, the days of The Library Theatre’s Solo Nights are in the dim and distant past, so if you’re an avid consumer of live productions, have a partner and friends who don't share your enthusiasm, and going on your own doesn’t really appeal, that’s where we come in. The plan is to sample as many performance genres and acting spaces as we can, possibly to have a meal beforehand, but more importantly a lively discussion in the bar afterwards! So come and join us - we're a really friendly bunch ;-)
