Schools across London
Lorna ran a series of drama workshops for young people at
London’s D & B School of Performing Arts, Kent, for 2
years.
Lorna has utilised her skills in various community teaching
projects also. From 1999-2002 she managed the Telegraph Hill
Play Scheme, where she wrote, produced and directed a play
that was performed by local 11-16 year olds.
Although her passion lies in nurturing the early signs of
talent, Lorna has also been commissioned by the Drill
Hall Theatre to devise a series of adult drama
workshops.
Lorna will be writing and directing a play for the Grassmarket
Project (GMP) sometime in 2008 The multi award-winning
theatre company places “…issues of social exclusion and
social justice…” at the forefront of its work with young
people, and provides them “… the opportunity to work
alongside the very best professional actors…”
Lorna will be working with young ex-offenders in particular,
as part of the GMP’s recent focus on ‘youth at risk’.
Whilst currently considering teaching positions, Lorna’s
long-term plans include opening a theatre school in Brixton
for young people in particular. A rich wealth of life
experience will continue to stand the performer in good
stead for developing rapport with youth from varied
backgrounds.
