Divergent Drama offers a supportive and creative environment where neurodivergent young people aged 12 to 18 can explore drama through theatre-based games and activities. Participants will develop new skills, build friendships, and express their unique experiences.
The program culminates in a celebration night featuring filmed performances of short pieces created by the participants, such as monologues and scenes that tell their own stories.
This is a wonderful opportunity for young people to gain confidence, connect with peers, and engage in meaningful storytelling.
