Dragon Theatre’s drama club rounded off the Summer of Fun funded by Gwynedd Council with a successful weekend.

Facilitator Julian Evans – a professional actor living in nearby Llwyngwril – led two days of workshops with local children, who tried out improvisation, mime, vocal and physical exercises – and of course played plenty of games.

And the next step is a weekly Drama Club, with sessions on Wednesdays, between 5pm and 7pm.

Young people between the ages of 10 and 17 who’d like to give performance a go are welcome to join the meeting at the theatre – drop [email protected] a line for more information.

“I’ve always enjoyed working in community theatre for the bond that it creates between performers and the area that they live in,” said Julian.

“It’s a remarkably rewarding experience and one from which I personally have also learned a lot.

“Over the years, I’ve learned a lot from working with other actors - and sometimes fortunate enough to work in a small way with big stars like Albert Finney.

“I’m so excited now to be able to share the magic of drama – something which has been so important to me in my life – with the young people of the area.”
