About Big Weekend

Big Weekend is run by Company Three, one of the UK's leading theatre companies working with young people. We've been working in Islington for more than 10 years and our plays have been produced in theatres across London and on the BBC.

Big Weekend is a project for Year 6 and 7 students nominated by their school and other organisations as young people particularly likely to benefit from the workshops.  You've been nominated because your teacher or youth worker think you have potential to be a great performer or theatre-maker.

During the weekend you'll take part in a series of professional workshops run by leading theatre makers, actors and choreographers.  You'll learn new skills and meet new people.  The atmosphere at Big Weekend is really friendly and safe - we guarantee you'll make new friends and have a lot of fun.

More details and FAQs

Will it be safe?

Yes! Company Three operates under a child safeguarding policy and public liability insurance.  All our staff have enhanced DBS checks and extensive experience in working with young people.  We are also experienced in working with young people with different needs. The project will be supervised by senior staff from Company Three. There will be a ratio of approximately one member of staff to every eight young people.

What should I wear? And do I need to bring anything?

Please wear comfortable clothing (not jeans or skirts) that you can move around in, and trainers. Bring a packed lunch for both days and some water.

Lunch

Please let us know in the sign-up form if you will be bringing your own packed lunch or if you would like lunch provided for you.

What will I be doing?

You'll take part in drama workshops with some amazing professional theatre-makers, choreographers and actors. You'll work in small groups and learn new skills that aren’t really covered in school drama classes. You'll explore devising, acting skills, scripts and lots more.

How will this help my child?

  • Helping them with language, communication and literacy skills (ideal for interviews/presentations)

  • Teaching new theatre and performance skills

  • Helping them to develop their interest in the arts

  • Signposting them to other regular activities to get involved in after the project has finished

What if I don't know anyone?

The first thing we do at the Big Weekend is help you make friends in small groups.  We don't know anyone who has ever attended Big Weekend who hasn't made a friend on the first day!

What if I can't make it?

Contact us!  We run other events during the year and if you're keen to get involved, we can make sure we tell you when they're coming up.

Can I bring a friend?

Big Weekend is only for people who are nominated by their teachers or another adult.  If you have a friend who you think should be nominated, talk to the adult who nominated you - or contact us.
