Acting Skills for All

Emma Dewhurst's roots in the acting world stretch back over 35 years, with a career that has seen her work with renowned directors and appear in notable films and TV shows. She has also had a successful stint as the founder and editor of an award-winning arts magazine, showcasing her creative flair and entrepreneurial spirit. Now, she is bringing her expertise to the Whitstable Umbrella Community Support centre, where she will be leading a theatre workshop for adults.

The workshop, which runs from Sunday, 1 November 2026, to Wednesday, 9 December 2026, is a drop-in class that welcomes adults of all ages and skill levels. Each session will include a warm-up, theatre exercises, and a focus on specific skills such as voice, movement, scripted scenes, and improvisation. With Emma's guidance, participants will have the chance to develop their acting skills, build confidence, and have fun in a supportive and inclusive environment.

As an accredited Transformational Life Coach, Emma brings a unique approach to the workshop, combining her acting expertise with coaching skills to help participants develop their communication and public speaking skills. Her coaching style, which draws on her acting presence, is warm, friendly, and inclusive, making her the perfect facilitator for this community class. The fact that the class is 'Pay What You Feel' and supported by the Whitstable Umbrella Centre, with donations appreciated, makes it accessible to everyone.

The theatre workshop is a great opportunity for adults to meet new people, learn new skills, and express themselves creatively. With Emma Dewhurst at the helm, participants can expect a fun and engaging experience that will help them grow both as actors and as individuals.
