Arts & Business

As a result of the continued support of the Arts and in particular, The Theatre Royal, Ashton KCJ were awarded funding in 2005 to hold a series of innovative training sessions involving The Theatre Royal and a company called Theatre Active. Workshops were held at Waterfront House where staff were the directors of actors - manipulating their characters behaviour to see the effects on others.
