From theatre design to musical theatre performance, Showcraft offers local youth (Ages 8-16) the unique chance to explore diverse art forms in the inspiring setting of the Barony Centre in West Kilbride. The partnership of Vertex Visions (a volunteer-led collective hosting diverse community arts events) and Kickstart Opera (a performing arts organisation and culture provider) enables us to utilise our sources of diverse range of artists, creatives, working professionals, and practitioners from the arts network. This collaboration offers participants the opportunity to explore various art forms they may not have encountered before. Art forms include: Drama (Storytelling, experimentation etc), Dance (Multiple Styles), Music (Musicianship, Singing and Musical Theatre for Children) and Stagecraft (Theatre design, prop making, costume making, theatre technology). 

Our classes will commence from April 2024 and will run until June 2024, recommencing in August for the following academic year. They will be held every Saturday afternoon for 2 hours in the Barony Centre (Craft Town Scotland) in West Kilbride. 

Support from the Arts & Cultutre Fund will allow us to fund the startup costs of the project. This includes, promotion @£150, funding the website with application form host @£50, resources for class (backing tracks, printing, game materials etc) @£200.
