Join our peer support network for directors
We’re excited to present this free, bi-monthly group for directors at any stage of their career. If you’re looking for an open and relaxed space to learn new directing techniques, get support from peers and share ideas, this is for you. At The Rep we are building a community of empowered directors in the West Midlands and we want you to be a part of it!
During these sessions, you will meet other directors to talk about topics affecting your area of practice, read scripts, discuss theatre shows and delve into directing approaches, theory and exercises. We will also give you a discounted ticket to see a show at The Rep after every session.
Led by The Rep’s in-house Associate Director Madeleine Kludje (GrimeBoy, City of a Thousand Trades) and featuring guest workshop leaders across the year, Directors Link Up offers a great place to connect and reflect.
For any questions or queries, please email with the subject line ‘Directors Link Up’. If you need subsistence to be able to attend, please e-mail and we will be able to discuss options.
We want to make this group as accessible as possible and encourage directors with lived experience of D/deafness, disability or neurodiversity to sign up.

The National Youth Arts Trust runs a youth theatre in Hull.
Since 2017 we’ve been offering regular workshops for young people aged 12 to 19 in Hull, to provide an education in drama outside of school for young people from low-income, non-privileged backgrounds and those who would otherwise have little or no chance to access such opportunities.
There are up to 30 members, who meet each week. Our workshops offer the chance to explore creative potential in drama in a non-academic environment. We learn a range of skills including script writing and devising work, acting techniques, movement and voice, physical theatre and improvisation.
We go on theatre trips, run masterclasses with industry professionals and perform for the local community.
The youth theatre exists to unearth emerging local talent, make bold and exciting work, give a chance for young people’s voices to be heard, encourage members to develop a lifelong passion for the performing arts, and to offer a practical and realistic springboard to further education, including a potential theatrical career.
