Our work breaks into 5 strands:
* Rep Creative Education
Working with Schools, FE Colleges and the Higher Education Sector we create programmes of work which both support and enhance the learning process. From bespoke workshops connected to productions to sustainable partnerships which develop Teachers whilst helping to creatively support the curriculum, our experienced and dedicated education specialists work closely within the heart of the creative process to bring theatre and learning together.
* Rep Creative Communities
Working across the city in Community Regeneration Centres, Youth Clubs, Secure Units and other venues our community work aims to work with those hard to reach groups who would not normally access the services of Dundee Rep.
* Rep Dramatherapy Service
In partnership with the Social work Department of Dundee City Council we also run a Dramathearapy Service for adults with mental health complex needs. This service is for people aged 16 -65. We provide closed and open groups for people experiencing mental health problems. Drama activities are used as a means of expressing emotions, learning new skills, reflecting on behavioural patterns, interacting with others, relating to others in a new/different way, gaining confidence, having fun and feeling better.
