Youth Steering Group

The Bruiser Ambassadors is a youth steering group. Members meet regularly to help develop Bruiser’s education and community engagement programme. The group is open to young people living in Northern Ireland aged 16+

The Belfast School of Performing Arts (BSPA) is Northern Ireland’s leading theatre School for 6-19 year olds and strives to deliver the highest level of training possible to every individual student.

As well as providing an exceptionally high standard of theatre tuition we endeavour to offer our students many unforgettable experiences. We have unique contacts with WestEnd & Broadway Performers, TV & theatre casting agencies (including our own in-house casting agency) and theatre professionals.  Through these opportunities, our students gain experience and learn more about performance and communicating with others.

Under the guidance of our Artistic Director, Peter Corry, we focus on helping our students grow in confidence so they can excel within the performing arts world and develop their social skills along the way. There is a strong emphasis on fun while we learn and we have a positive, creative, happy environment where our students develop friendships for life.

Every Saturday Morning from 10am – 1pm
