The Crisis Youth Volunteering Programme is offering young people the opportunity to create a short production looking at their experiences of being homeless.

Meet the workshop leaders

My name is Jana Zeineddine, I am a Lebanese-American actress, writer and current MA Applied Theatre student at the Central School of Speech & Drama. I became involved in the drama workshop at Crisis as a drama practitioner because I believe in the power of drama to educate, inspire and transform. I hope to achieve work collaboratively with the group that is reflective of their message, breaks down stereotypes about hidden homelessness and makes them proud.  I feel fortunate to work with a group of people that come to sessions with immense creativity, intelligence and passion.

My name is Maria and I am volunteering at Crisis as a Drama Workshop Leader.

I left home after my GCSE's to study performing arts at the BRIT school. I then went travelling in Australia and worked in Greece. I did an acting foundation course at Arts Educational and I am currently working towards my BA(Hons) in Drama and Theatre Arts at Goldsmiths College, University of London and teaching drama at Helen O'Grady in Croydon.

This Crisis project attracted me because I have a passion for drama that I am keen to share with other young people. I hope to gain some valuable expereince in teaching and working collaboratively towards a successful finished product that informs young people about hidden homelessness.
