The National Student Drama Festival is running a series of three amazing movement workshops led by Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures, STOMP and Lucy Hind.
And you could win yourself a place on one of them.
The workshops will take place from Tuesday 26 February - Friday 8 March at Sheffield Theatres and will lead towards a short performance on the final night of this year's National Student Drama Festival, on the 29 March.
What the hell, NSDF will even throw in a £40 gift for each of the participants after the performance and provide your coach travel from Sheffield to Scarborough.
Participants are not required to have any dance or percussion experience for these workshops, and we’re looking for people interested in learning something new or expanding an existing skill. They are also suitable for any discipline, whether you’re an actor, director or dancer.

Lucy trained in South Africa and was a member of First Physical Theatre Company. She has been a member of the award winning Slung Low since 2006, with whom she has made work at the Lowry, Almeida, Liverpool Everyman and the Barbican.
