Local StageAbility Gets A Special Visitor! When an iconic actor - 20 years in EastEnders and over 60 years in theatre, casually dropped into one of StageAbility’s local Senior Drama Classes, as you can imagine, it caused a flurry of excitement. Known to most as the ‘Square’s’ lovable Patrick Trueman, actor Rudolph Walker took time out of his busy schedule to get to know and work with their senior students, giving them support and encouragement for their current project - a play which explores issues around different types of bullying, which they are hoping to tour to local secondary schools. He also spent time with the students helping them to understand that self-belief, passion and perseverance is crucial to achieving the success that they desire - whatever that may be.
Reading-based Rudolph works a lot with young people. His own charity - The Rudolph Walker Foundation uses drama to help young people communicate better and give them confidence in their abilities to achieve their dreams. His foundation has helped many young people over the years by encouraging them to recognise that different people have different talents and skills which need to be nurtured individually. StageAbility Principal, Jackie Stuart, told us that she knows her students will have been inspired by his stories and will remember his advice. “He was fab, and our students left feeling motivated with the knowledge that belief and resilience is the key, whatever line of work you choose to go into!” To find out more about StageAbility, visit @stageabilityberks on Facebook!
