Would you like to be involved in the Community Arts sector? Montage Theatre Arts are seeking enthusiastic and motivated voluntary dance, drama and singing assistants to help facilitate courses throughout the year.
Montage Theatre Arts (MTA) is a charity based in Deptford, South-East London. It is Lewisham’s only revenue-funded arts organisation in the Brockley Ward. The company runs 33 weekly classes plus holiday courses for young people and the elderly from the local community in the performing arts with a respected track record for offering excellent and vital opportunities. MTA helps people from a highly deprived area to acquire techniques and skills, develop confidence and social ability, whilst breaking down barriers between cultural groups and the generations.
