Beyond Face Youth Company is a fantastic opportunity for young people of the Global Majority aged 12-16 to work with professional theatre makers in a professional studio space to learn theatre and performance skills, perform, create their own theatre, writing and movement. 

Over the years the youth company has performed their own productions such as Where’s Abi? By Titilola Dawudu and most recently their production Grow Up. We work closely with other youth theatre companies such as Doorstep Arts and Company Three on a variety of exchange projects.

This summer we are expanding our usual summer provision into a two week training and performance course for young people.

With one week spent building skills and community, before we dive into intensive rehearsals for a fresh take on a modern play in week two. Performances will be hosted at a local professional venue. It promises to be an unforgettable summer, free of charge!
