A youth programme that challenges what it means to be an artist
Guided through the year by artists and leading professionals from a variety of disciplines, Cardboard Collective will demystify the mechanisms of live performance – from marketing a show to producing a gig – building towards collaborating to create a series of live public events.

Each member of the Collective will develop their artistry, grow their brand and become more industry savvy, accessing the information you need to know to up your levels in the industry.

Cardboard Collective will inspire boundary-breaking new creations by breaking down the borders between art forms and encouraging unexpected collaborations.

The Collective is open to young people aged 16-25 and who have an interest in making art; you could be a musician, designer, events manager, producer, vocalist, social media guru, stylist or not even know where your current interest fits, that’s also okay, we want you in the Collective too.

The Boundless Drama Club is for anyone starting out in theatre. Access funding, creative opportunities, workshops and advice in a diverse community.

Through your online membership you will have access to high quality creative resources, challenges and masterclasses, mentoring and real time connection to peers and the Boundless team.

Throughout 2022 memberships are free as we get to know you and in return all we ask for is you get in touch, tell us what you're enjoying and also what you want to change. This is better if we're all collaborating and we hope you'll take a look around.

WHAT IS IT?

All entries get feedback so you can keep honing your craft and growing as a performer.
