For: facilitators, directors, and people making work in the room.
This session, led by Mortal Fools, will explore how to adapt a session when working with young people with different access requirements, to ensure everyone in the room can feel heard and enjoy themselves.
We think it's important there are free, regular spaces to connect with other youth theatre makers, to learn together and to dream big for the sector.
Since 2024, we’ve partnered with England’s Youth Theatre NPOs to offer free, regular online spaces to discuss the practice of running a youth theatre today.
In the Running a Youth Theatre sessions, you'll hear about their real-world perspectives and practice, participate in a task or provocation, and have space to ask any questions you have to the session leader and other makers in the room.
This is a space to learn, reflect, and connect with others working across the sector - whether you're new to the role or have years of experience. All sessions are free, held on Zoom and are open to anyone using performance in their work with young people.
For: producers, artistic directors, people working in youth theatre, access coordinators, facilitators, directors, and people making work in the room.
Back in March 2023, 20 Stories High joined forces with their theatre mates from London and worked with over 60 Deaf, Disabled, and neurodivergent young people and young adults from across the country, from Liverpool, London, Leeds, Chester, and Manchester.
They collected all of the thoughts, ideas, and provocations to develop a practical, step-by-step guide aimed at helping arts organisations and venues take significant strides toward making the arts more accessible for young audiences, participants, and artists - which they’ll share and discuss in this session.

Is money stopping you from taking part in music, dance or drama?
We grant music bursaries, dance bursaries and drama bursaries up to £1,000 each, to talented young people aged 12-25 who can’t afford to access opportunities in the arts. A bursary typically pays for a year’s part time dance, music or drama classes, and it can be used to cover some other expenses and costs too, including tuition fees at drama school.
We open applications for bursaries several times a year, and the next deadline is 30 October 2025. If you apply after this, we’ll consider your application in the next round.
Further Than The Edge Productions C.I.C are running weekly Open Level Acting Workshops in two Camden venues. A motivating, fun and safe space for beginners, and people with experience who want to develop existing skills.
These are open level workshops, so no previous acting training is required, but you must be prepared to work with other people - communicate and collaborate, and move around the space. You will also read/use extracts of playtexts/scripts.
This is a great place to start before moving on to more formal or professional level training, or to keep up your existing skillset.

Whether you’re a musician or local promoter with insights to share, a community music-minded fundraiser, budding marketeer or just have something to say about the state of music today, we’re looking for young people from all backgrounds across Wales to help us tackle subjects that are relevant to you.
