Young Company: The Collective

Dare. Dream. Do.

We believe in the power, flair and energy of young people and co-create unmissable opportunities.

Want to meet new people? Discover and develop your creativity?

We run a programme of dynamic projects co-created with young people, for young people.

The Collective

Tuesday nights 6.30pm – 8pm

If you are interested in meeting new people and exploring your own creativity, then The Collective is a great place to start. These weekly workshops led by a variety of artists will help you learn, build confidence and have fun along the way.

Access

Young Company is for young people aged 16 - 21 who want to work creatively and collectively to learn and grow together. Our Young Company come from a range of places and backgrounds to take part in new, inclusive and accessible projects with professional artists.

If you need one-to-one support please bring someone with you, and get in touch with us to tell us how best we can support your creative adventure. All three stages and our rehearsal and meeting spaces are wheelchair accessible.

Cost

Sessions are £5 each and are paid for in half term or full term blocks.

We don't want cost to be a barrier and can discuss a payment plan or bursary place for applicants with a household income below £14,500 for single families, or £16,200 for families with two resident parent/guardians.

How to apply

We are proudly open access – no audition and no previous experience necessary.

We will be holding taster sessions during the summer. To apply please fill out an online application form.
