Bespoke workshops and creative projects
We offer a range of workshops for secondary schools and colleges, tailored as much as possible to the needs of particular pupil groups. We can visit your school or college (depending on where you'rebased), or you can visit us.
In drama workshops, we aim to build young people’s self-confidence, social skills and creativity in a safe and supportive environment. All of our staff are professional actors, directors, designers or industry specialists.
In our music workshops, we showcase a range of styles from classical to jazz and musical theatre. These often involve our talented undergraduate and postgraduate students who are developing professional outreach skills as part of their studies.
You can request:
- A drama, music or backstage workshop menu
- A pre- or post-performance Q&A with our performers (if your student group is attending a paid performance)
Open days
Our open days offer students a great opportunity to experience the College and soak up the atmosphere of our main building, which is not only a leading music and drama conservatoire but also a vibrant arts centre staging 500 public performances a year.
Come and explore our campus, meet our friendly staff and students, and experience what it's like to study and live in the vibrant city of Cardiff.
'A big thank you from us. We, staff and students, were blown away by the day.
The kids and we as staff were talking about the RWCMD for the whole rest of the weekend – and even today when back in school, kids are still asking me questions! [...] Not a single moment wasn't brilliant.'Pete's Grammar SchoolCheltenham
