Immediate Theatre's Estate Based Youth Theatres engage young people in Hackney who do not have access to the arts ‘right on their doorsteps’, in estate halls or community centres. The programme has engaged thousands of participants who do not traditionally have access to arts opportunities. All our sessions are FREE, inclusive and open to all!
This established model aims to help participants develop improved interpersonal skills, artistic abilities, and emotional health & wellbeing, which has been endorsed by the Centre for Youth Impact as having a significant impact on young people. The projects are delivered within a community context and help to build community cohesion. This term we will focus on learning about Pantomime through the story: The Wizard of Oz.
We are currently running several free weekly youth theatres across Hackney for young people from ages 5-25, including a dedicated session for young people with disabilities and an additional session for ages 25+. The programmes are as follows, and you can find out more about how to get involved at out website.
