At Creatro students invent their own original Stage-Play from scratch! The course is 100% in English and is taught by a Native English Teacher from Manchester.
Creatro encompasses the entire creative process of inventing a Stage-Play: from narrative theory to scriptwriting; from scene blocking to the live final production. At the end of the course, the students will perform the Stage-Play they have invented to a live audience of friends and family.
Previous Theatre experience is not required.
Creatro is open to anyone who is interested in acting, creativity, improvisation and using the English language.

What do you gain from participating?
English: Our courses are entirely in English, so you will use and improve the 4 key language-learning skills: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening. The teacher has over 12 years experience teaching foreign language learners in Spain and Greece. Creatro is a welcoming environment where you will never be judged for making mistakes in English and where you can express yourself freely.
Acting: We take acting seriously, so we focus on body language, facial expression, tone of voice, and the art of bringing characters to life on stage. You will also improve your public speaking skills. You will learn to project your voice, improve your pronunciation and become more confident speaking in front of others.
Social: Creatro is a collaborative activity so you will use your social skills to improve your self-confidence, meet new people, share ideas and form part of an effective team. When it comes to creativity and inventing stories, no idea is a bad idea!
Script-Writing: By learning how to write an original script, you will sharpen your creative writing skills and experience your imaginative ideas come to life on paper, and then on stage!
Creatro is recommended for people who already have a basic/intermediate English level.
The courses are implemented in collaboration with
