IF you are young and have a hankering for the greasepaint then Eastleigh Borough Youth Theatre's Saturday workshops should fit the bill.

They are open to anyone aged from eight to 20 who have an interest in drama or would just like to meet new people and have some fun.

The sessions are held at The Station in Chandler's Ford from 10am to midday and costs £1 each week.

During these two-hour sessions participants will explore a range of dance, drama and music techniques.

Eastleigh Borough Youth Theatre director Tim Ford runs the workshops.

He said: "These weekly sessions teach young people life skills such as self-confidence, self-esteem, teamwork and team building, projection and discipline."

He says they are invaluable skills for later life whether people choose to carry on with drama or not.

If you are interested in joining the Saturday sessions or would like more information telephone Christine of Kirsty on 023 8062 7806.
