2025
Join us for a fantastic and intensive week in August to create a new piece of theatre
My Story - Our Story
and the opportunity to perform it in front of a live audience.
We’re looking for enthusiastic 16 - 24 year olds with an interest in any of…
theatre / physical theatre / devising / music / singing / dance.
and with any level of experience - including absolute beginners!
We’re excited to work with individuals keen to develop skills,
and hungry to experience the buzz of working in a
professional environment during the creation of a show.
Our team of industry professionals will support and guide the company through a collaborative process in which everyone is valued and encouraged to contribute in the creation of Our Story,
a devised theatre piece incorporating music, movement and monologues, and reflecting the
My Story of all the participants.
My Story - Our Story is completely free for all participants!
We're working to bring down the barriers to engage with the performing arts...
thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund for making this project available to all!
