3Theatre is a new approach to theatre education and aims to build confidence through the arts, created by Claire Doyle in 2016.
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 spread the joy of creativity … to all!
The 3Team is made up of hand picked, experienced professionals in theatre, music, performance and teaching who guide all students through their learning journey.
2018 and 2019
3T continue to work alongside schools and nurseries and provide bespoke workshops/classes designed to engage and inspire young minds.In every holiday you’ll find a ‘Smile!’ project and you can also catch us running classes for local after school clubs programmes.
Claire also takes on private students in the UK and America and is invited to teach visiting ( overseas) and resident performing arts students across Scotland.
In 2018 and 2019 we started to fund and part fund creative experiences for primary/secondary schools, local community groups and charities.

‘ ..now we have to plan our holiday around ‘ Smile!’….they don’t want to miss it ‘

3Theatre’s private holiday workshops are called ‘Smile!’
These award nominated workshop experiences have been rated 5 Stars by participants, parents and industry professionals.
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.

Awards – available on the ‘Smile!’ Performance Project
We offer two award programmes. All ‘Smile!’ participants have the opportunity to record their journey from the workshop to be submitted for an accredited award. By recognising each student’s learning journey, the aim of the award programme is to highlight personal achievement and how these skills can transfer into life and work.These awards are recognised by SQA and SCQF ( the national credit transfer system for all levels of qualifications in Scotland).
Each Saltire award/young volunteer student can also be put forward for recognition of their work and time.
‘Smile!’ Skills – a new style of workshop experience for 2019
‘Smile!’ Skills is a new workshop format being introduced in 2019. These workshops will run through out the year as an alternative way of learning through fun. We will focus on strengthening skills and encouraging students to try out the new. There will be an added well-being element where we focus on styles of learning and individuality. The aim is to empower each student by exploring ways to approach challenges. These workshops will be open to visiting professionals… so keep your eyes peeled for updates!
This course has the added option of single day sign up.

Janet Scott
Depute 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!
