The West End Centre is and always has been a safe environment in which to test things out, examine situations and strengthen your sense of identity.
Bekki has a whole load of theatre games, drama exercises, and activities designed to help establish trust, unlock creativity, build confidence, and have fun doing so! Our golden rule is we respect each other and share a common love of drama – creating something unique together.
Our 12-week course is for both newcomers and more experienced actors alike. Our classes are relatively informal but do adopt a structured approach.
Tutor: Bekki Budd
Bekki has a BA (Hons) and MA (Hons) in English Literature, a Post Graduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) in Education and has taught arts and humanities extensively at the secondary and undergraduate levels.
