A holistic and participatory programme that includes training in acting, music, movement, design, scripting, facilitation, directing, technical skills and life skills to create industry ready artists as well as actors ready to work in the Jungle style.In 2007 JTC ran a year long programme with 6 trainees who were then taken on throughout 2008 as freelance artists. 2 of the 2007 graduates are part of the current core team. |
Educators’ workshops |
 JTC develops workshops for educators so they can use drama skills across the range of learning areas in the curriculum. Teachers get to participate in the workshops and experience the creative process that their learners will also go through. The games and exercises can be used to provide creative, participatory experiential learning. |
Schools intercultural workshops |
 With the Harlequin Foundation’s eMzantsi carnival and community building project, JTC has developed 3 arts based primary school twinning programmes. Children from two very different schools go through a creative process together learning in each others’ communities and building friendships across traditional cultural divides. |

 JTC has provided a rolling extra mural programme for schools including: Rondebosch Boys Preparatory, Canons Creek Primary, Wynberg Boys Primary, Yeshua Christian Primary, Grove Primary, Muizenberg Junior and Rosebank Junior. Children learn theatre skills including mime, music, storytelling, dance and puppetry. They play games that engage their imagination and create fun performances generated from their own ideas. |
