How we work

“Life enhancing and life expanding”  

Forest Forge offers a wide range of active theatre and creative workshops and courses for everyone. 

Whether you’re a young people who are looking for their tribe, an adult needing a break from stress or an older person seeking a new challenge or social group, we have sessions to suit you.  

Since 1999, Forest Forge has been offering joyful theatre making experiences. But these are not your usual drama workshops! All our sessions use ensemble theatre where every participant is equally valued, and where the success of the whole is prioritised over the success of the individual.

We create an environment where everyone feels supported, trusted, and heard by the group. It allows them to make bold choices and take risks – knowing that the ensemble will catch and support them. This approach gives us the freedom to have a lot of fun with the way we make and present theatre.  

We might have 6 Romeos, and 6 Juliets. 

We may have only 1 Sherlock… but 20 Watsons. 

However we tell it, the storytelling and people are at the heart of our workshops and we explore ideas in our unique way that gives everyone a chance to be an essential part of the process.
