Medway Play Lab CIC

We provide performing arts activities to the people of Medway, Kent. We run improvisation workshops and theatrical events in which allow our participants to grow in confidence, release inhibition and explore their creativity. Our events also provide a social connection and aim to help people overcome alienation and loneliness. We aim to make our activities accessible for all in the community -In this period we continued to run monthly Improv Jam sessions. We invited specialists to run Guest Workshops including Lynne Parker, Lucy Trodd, Sarah Davies, Andy Storey and Katy Schutte. -in July we ran a 6-week Beginner Course which was well attended. -We received £3080 funding from UKSPF operated by Medway Council, to run our Playlab Playreads project which saw a monthly Playreading club reading 5 plays culminating in a rehearsed reading performance as part Rippling Out of the Medway River Lit Festival. -We organised group trips to a local comedy night and to a West End Theatre.
