FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

What is Shine?

Shine is a programme of drama events in West Dunbartonshire, funded by West Dunbartonshire Council and run by PACE Theatre Company.

At PACE our aim is to offer a unique artistic programme, which offers young people of all ages the chance to participate, learn and perform in bespoke performing arts experiences during the school holidays.

All our events promote confidence, self-esteem and self-expression as well as teamwork and collaboration skills. On top of this each individual event focuses on developing different creative skills and you can see some of the varied range of skills that will be covered listed under each event description. The very core of our ethos is about developing each young person and giving them the chance to be part of a fun and creative environment in which they can express themselves and be who they want to be.

So, what are you waiting for? Do something different this year, something you’ve never done before, and be part of Shine; make new friends, take risks, create incredible performances, learn new skills and make memories to last a lifetime.

We cannot wait for you to join us!
