VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR UNSCENE SUFFOLK DRAMA AND SINGING WORKSHOPS
Unscene Suffolk is looking for volunteers to help with their accessible creative arts workshops.
Volunteers are needed to assist visually impaired participants to attend their drama and singing workshops which take place on Monday (singing) or Thursday (drama) afternoons at the New Wolsey theatre and Gallery Studio in central Ipswich.
Duties will include: Walking with participants to and from public transport before and after workshops. Assisting participants to find their way around the space during workshops. Reading scripts or lyrics, and finding props etc. Joining in with activities in order to encourage participants and, in singing workshops, helping them to learn lyrics.
The singing workshops are very keen to hear from anyone in the Stowmarket/Bury/Sudbury directions who can drive.
Unscene Suffolk’s Workshop Leader, Caroline Roberts said:
This is a great opportunity to learn about how to support visually impaired people and promote independence and inclusion, and Sighted Guide training can also be arranged. Volunteers don’t need to be available for both singing and drama workshops, but should be able to commit to one of the sessions on a fairly regular basis.
Anyone interested in finding out more about volunteering can call 07919 282266, or email email@unscenesuffolk.co.uk
CALL OUT FOR NEW MEMBERS
As the drama and singing workshops start up again after a long break due to covid, Unscene Suffolk currently has spaces for new members. The workshops are great fun and very sociable and we invite you to join us for a taster session, so you can find out first hand what we do. Each workshop is led by professional creatives and are fully accessible. We have a wonderful team of employees and volunteers who can also assist you in getting to the venue should you need it.
Anyone interested in finding out more about participating in either drama or singing workshops can call Caroline Roberts on 07919 282266, or email email@unscenesuffolk.co.uk
