Young artists will raise the roof of the Rose tonight

Surbiton.com: July 6, 2012 - 4:12pm

The International Youth Arts festival will begin its official launch of events with a musical showpiece titled Raise the Roof at the Rose tonight.

An ex-EastEnders star presented an acting workshop for aspiring actors and directors as part of a series of art workshops for youngsters.

Surbiton-based David Spinx, who played the character of lazy Keith Miller in the hit BBC soap from 2004 to 2008, delivered the workshop as part of the International Youth Arts Festival that began last week.

He gave attendees an insight into the acting industry and gave them tips on how to get their foot in the door.

Throughout the week young people participated in numerous workshops such as storytelling, comedy skills and even puppetry.

Some even took part in a circus skills workshop where they were shown how to hula hoop, walk on stilts and juggle by a specialist circus company.
