Home to our very first Wild Things Drama School, Denshaw Village Hall in Oldham is a fabulous venue - with its own stage and large, child-friendly hall area. Situated at the very heart of the picturesque Saddleworth village of Denshaw, this new multi-functional centre is surrounded by its own landscaped gardens. It is adjacent to the parish church and open to the unspoilt splendour of the Pennine countryside.
The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) is one of the oldest drama schools in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1861, it quickly established itself as a centre of excellence in performance training. LAMDA has provided theatre and the world of film and television with generation upon generation of first-class actors and expertly-trained stage managers across the world. LAMDA began offering speech examinations to the public in the 1880s. Since then, these examinations have been refined and developed into a comprehensive system of performance evaluation by experts in education, acting and communication. In addition to being the UK’s largest statutory speech and drama awarding body, LAMDA Examinations has a reputation for excellence across the globe.
In 2010 Wild Things has had the privilege of working with The White Ribbon Campaign, creating tailor-made workshops and performances on the subject of domestic violence. The White Ribbon Campaign (WRC) is the largest effort in the world of men working to end violence against women (VAW). In over fifty-five countries, campaigns are led by both men and women, even though the focus is on educating men and boys. In some countries it is a general public education effort focused on ending violence against women.
