When people hear “creative training,” they often picture young students fresh out of school, dreaming of acting, directing, or making movies. But here’s the truth: more and more adults are returning to the creative world—and we love that at GGGE.
Maybe you’ve always wanted to act but never had the chance. Maybe life took you in another direction, and now you’re ready to come back to your creative side. Or maybe you’ve worked in a different industry for years and are now looking for something more fulfilling. Whatever the reason, there’s space for you here.
At GGGE, we welcome people from all walks of life. Some of our learners are teachers, social workers, baristas, or parents who pressed pause on their creative dreams. Others are simply exploring a hobby that has always called to them. What they all have in common is the courage to try—and the joy they find in rediscovering their creativity.
You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need to have a drama degree or know how to use film equipment. All you need is curiosity, a bit of courage, and a willingness to learn. We offer training in theatre, film, events, and project management, with a hands-on approach that suits all levels and backgrounds. We focus on doing, not just talking. You’ll be learning on real projects, with real people, in real creative spaces.
We’ve seen adults take part in their first performance at 40, manage a live event at 50, or step behind a camera for the first time in their 30s—and completely shine. And the best part? They’re not doing it alone. At GGGE, you become part of a supportive, welcoming community that believes in learning together, lifting each other, and having a laugh along the way.
We know that starting something new as an adult can feel scary. There’s often that little voice saying, “Am I too old for this?” But the truth is—you’re not. If anything, your life experience brings something special to the room. Your stories, your ideas, your presence—all of it adds value.
So if you’re an adult who’s been thinking, “Maybe I could…”—we’re here to tell you: Yes. You can.
Come join us. Your creative journey doesn’t have an age limit. And at GGGE, it’s only just beginning.
