If you would like to divide your class or team into smaller groups, we also offer to provide a second facilitator at a discounted rate so that we can run the same programme concurrently throughout the day. Please inquire about this when booking.
In schools, we offer to facilitate workshops for up to 30 children per session.

What makes ACTivate unique?
All of our programmes are rooted firmly in theatre technique which make for exciting, energetic and dynamic workshops. Our priority is ensuring that our participants have a good time and come away re-charged and re-energised, with boosted confidence and a renewed engagement to their work.
At ACTivate, our work is always process-led. We believe that the most exciting discoveries are not found at the destination, but on the journey itself! Our sessions are carefully crafted to ensure that we deliver an inclusive, challenging and valuable experience for every participant, focusing on their individual needs and not just on presenting a polished product. All of our facilitators are professional performers who are passionate about education and personal development.
