National Convention of Youth Drama 2020 – Andonella Thomson

Andonella ThomsonIn the run-up to the 2020 National Convention of Youth Drama, we’ve asked some of the speakers to tell us a little more about their sessions and why they would recommend them to attendees.

Andonella Thomson, Director at Kingscavil Consulting Ltd, will present a session called Where Do You See Yourself In Ten Years? Setting Career Goals. Are you itching for change or a new challenge? Do you feel a little stuck in your career? Do you need a push to think further ahead? In this practical and engaging workshop, trained coach and mentor Andonella Thomson will help you set yourself goals for the future and ensure you have the tools to achieve them.

What will you be covering in your session at DramaCon?
It’s a first coaching session. All good leaders ought to know the principles of asking good powerful questions and using a coaching style approach to encourage learning.

Why you’re looking forward to the convention?
I love working with people in the Arts. There’s always a bucket load of innovation, enthusiasm and genuinely lovely people. It’s also a great networking opportunity for me.

Why others should look to attend?
You will be given the opportunity to self-reflect and give you food for thought about your motivations and what you get stuck with. If this resonates with you, this is a must-do session. It will allow you to put your work and home life into context and give you simple techniques to use, beyond the session.

Andonella presents her session at 3pm on Fri 20 March 2020 as part of the National Convention of Youth Drama at Scottish Youth Theatre in Glasgow. Booking is open at www.ytas.org.uk/opportunities-for-professionals/convention-of-youth-drama

Our long-term supporters Heughan’s Heughligans have kicked off their annual fundraising drive for YTAS in style, as they mark the 46th birthday of our Patron, Outlander star Sam Heughan. This is now the 13th annual #Dram4Sam arranged by our friends the Heughligans. This year, all of the ‘drams’ raised will go towards supporting the delivery of the National Festival of Youth Theatre in July.
Our membership scheme has always been central to our role as the development body for Scotland’s youth theatre sector, but it hasn’t undergone a major update in more than a decade. This means the structure reflects the needs of a sector from ten years ago – not the one we have today. For 2026, YTAS are refreshing our membership scheme to make it a better fit for today’s sector.
