We are a theatre organisation that specialises in using live theatre performances to advance inclusive and exciting educational packages. The organisation is also involved in theatre training and mainstream theatre production, and performance.
Founded in 2014, the organisation is based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. The use of theatre arts for educational purposes enables learners to learn in a free and exciting environment. Through Performance Based Workshops C.T.D helps learners to understand different concepts they would have learnt in class.
Theatre is used to raise interest and stimulate learners and teachers to engage in discussions around texts that they would have read in the classroom. Theatre in education helps learners to catch up with their educational goals. Theatre Performance Based Workshops are an entertaining way of education. The method used caters for all learners as it appeals to all senses. Centre For Talent Development uses theatre because it provides for an in-depth, rich, interpersonal engaging process that enables learners to be active participants in the learning process. Theatre is an art is form is a powerful educational tool because of its flexibility and mobility.
C.T.D runs a storytelling project for children who are in kindergarten and in primary school. This is an effort to make sure that the art form is preserved and is used for educational purposes.
As, Centre For Talent Development is premised on a Theatre training program. It specialises in recruiting young people and adults who have an interest in becoming theatre actors. It offers basic acting skills.
New members refine their acting skills by being part of Theatre Performance Based Workshops.
Graduates of the training program also get a chance to be part of the mainstream theatre by being involved in professional performances produced by C.T.D.
Centre For Talent Development is directly building relationships with kids, young people of school going age through its projects. For young kids in kindergarten and primary school it has Story Time. In this regard C.T.D aims at gaining more theatre lovers and growing an audience for the art form.
