3Theatre is a new approach to theatre and education and aims to build confidence through the arts,created by Claire Doyle.
With over 20 years of performance and teaching experience, alongside extensive training at the Royal Academy of Music (London) and the Theatre School of Dance and Drama (Edinburgh) Claire has enjoyed a varied career receiving an array of accolades, including the HL Hammond Prize (RAM). In addition to her wide-ranging performance experience, Claire has enjoyed playing a key creative role in a multitude of innovative theatre, film and dance projects worldwide.
Now living in Edinburgh with her young family and regularly leading workshops for youths, Claire has come to appreciate the brilliance and creativity of young minds and the importance of confidence, resilience and positivity in their development.Claire’s wealth of experience and training coupled with her desire to support and encourage young people lead to the creation of 3T – an inclusive social enterprise designed to harness the power of the imagination and to spread the joy of creativity and performance… to all!
The 3Theatre team are hand picked, experienced professionals in theatre,music, performance and teaching who guide all students through their ‘Smile!’ journey. All participants have the opportunity to record their journey from the workshop to be submitted for an accredited award.
Awards
We are now approved to deliver Youth Awards throughout our work. These awards are recognised by SQA and SCQF ( the national credit transfer system for all levels of qualifications in Scotland).
3T works alongside schools and nurseries to provide bespoke workshops/classes that engage and inspire young minds.We continue to provide our ‘Smile!’ project in school holidays, classes for Bruntsfield After School Clubs and to teach students privately. We also run funded creative experiences. More information can be found on this under ‘Smile!’ and Project Be in the next section.
About the ‘Smile!’ workshop
‘I did it! I can do it again.I want to do more…’
‘ They loved it…couldn’t wait to get out the car to start each day ‘
‘ (Smile!) is talked about for a long time after it’s finished ‘
‘ ..now we have to plan our holiday around ‘ Smile!’….they don’t want to miss it ‘

These are a sample of comments and written testimonial – 2017 / 18
3Theatre’s private holiday workshops are called ‘Smile!’

Smile recognises a brand new approach to theatre. The aim is simple; create a supportive and creative environment in which everyone can realise their potential. Students are given the practical tools and opportunity to explore ideas, gain confidence in their ability and instincts and be inspired to work effectively towards their goals.
3Theatre prides itself on inclusivity and students of all ages, stages and confidence levels are welcomed with a smile.

Smile for Schools/ Project Be
3Theatre believe that the benefits of the arts should be available to everyone, regardless of circumstance. We design funded projects and collaborate cross sector to create opportunities that raise attainment ( in schools) and improve mental and physical health and well-being for all.
This year as part of ‘The Year of Young People’ we have worked across Scotland with students aged 2-18 years on a variety of projects with incredible outcomes and feedback. If you have an idea or would like to work with us to create something special, please get in touch. We love brainstorming unique and inspirational ideas. To find out more about our work you can check out our Insta, Facebook, Twitter and facebook for updates and sneek peeks!

′Smile!′ Student Summer 2017
Claire is one of the best teachers I’ve ever been lucky enough to work with. Incredibly talented as a performer herself and with all of her teaching experience she’s simply the perfect tutor to bring out the best in anyone who wants to succeed creatively, in any of the performance disciplines.

Jill Wareham
Head Teacher, East Linton SchoolThanks . My youngsters enjoyed it SO much and it meant a lot to them all. For some of them in particular …. it will have boosted their self-esteem hugely. For me, seeing their faces today on the stage was just great, and to watch you working with them as been a privilege. Thank you Claire!
Julia Wilson
Teacher, North Berwick High SchoolYou were brilliant… hopefully there will be further opportunities for more things like this.
Janet Scott
Deputy Head, Teacher Prestonpans PrimaryWhen I first met our workshop leader, I thought she was really nice. She was a good teacher and she taught us well. I thought the rehearsals were going to be difficult, having to learn different parts. I was absent on the day of the first rehearsal so I thought “Oh no! It will be really hard to catch up!”, but I was wrong, it wasn’t hard at all….the event was really good… and I’d love to do it again…
Rebecca M
Performer, Olympic ChoirThe Olympic Torch Relay was really fun, and I would love to do it again but I obviously can’t! I signed up for it because I wanted to get better at performing. Claire was an amazing coach and the workshops were sooooooo much fun!
Jessica E
Performer, Olympic ChoirThe practice sessions were fun as Claire, who taught us everything, was really upbeat, enthusiastic and energetic… I’ll remember it forever.
