Current work
REACT
Mondays 6.30 - 8.30, The Synergy Centre, Camberwell
REACT is a regular youth theatre group, bringing together young people aged 14-18, from different cultural and national backgrounds. Since 2002 groups have explored the social, cultural and political issues which are important to them.
REACT perform their work regularly at venues around London including schools, theatres and festivals and are encouraged to develop skills in performing, writing, directing, marketing and other areas of the arts that interest them.
“Rewrite tackles subjects that are important to us, such as asylum, bullying and changing people’s attitudes”

cREate ESOL
Creative ESOL started in February 2007 as a pilot project, and was so successful that we have secured funding for the autumn term.
Creative ESOL is an innovative programme of work whereby young people with English as a Second or Other Language learn to speak and understand English by taking part in Creative Activities such as drama and dance. The classes are taught by an ESOL tutor and a drama/arts facilitator, and are for young people of secondary school age 11-16. Young people can be referred through their school EAL co-ordinator or they or their parents can approach Rewrite directly. Any enquiries should be made to the co-ordinator for Creative ESOL, Emma Hewitt.
If you would like to find out more about our ESOL classes, please download the cREate ESOL enquiry form (PDF) and send it back to us. We look forward to hearing from you!
