About 3Theatre
3Theatre is 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.
WHAT HAPPENS?
We start with a bare, open space, a suitcase of props and by the end of week transform it into a whole new world.The main task is to tell the ‘best story that’s ever been told!’ by working as a team.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE STUDENTS AND THEIR IDEAS
Past stories have included unique monsters, aliens, witches, Jedi, invisible people, magic, superheroes, circus , pop stars, football, martial arts, violin, piano and guitar playing. The cast have also written original melody and lyrics, appeared from thin air and some have even danced like chickens…
Older students can choose to perform and/ or take on a stage management role too. They take control of the creating and help to bring to life ideas( set creating, drawing, leading communication and trying out of ideas)
The possibilities are endless but the outcome is always outstanding ( just read our reviews here, on facebook, instagram and twitter to see!).
THE GIFT OF A SMILE.
SMILE! works to promote and support the amazing charity ‘ Hearts and Minds UK’ .The Clowndoctors work tirelessly in helping children and families in hospital and who need a SMILE the most!
A part of the fee goes toward sponsoring and adopting a Clowndoctor for a year.
The next ‘ Smile ‘ project is taking place in October holiday’s 2017 at Bruntsfield Primary- It’s a highly creative and fun performance workshop experience for anyone 6 and over…. with imagination!
Places can go quickly so sign up early to avoid disappointment.

′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.

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.
Melanie B
