growing young voices
& creative futures
INK creates opportunities for young people to discover theatre, develop their creativity and find their voice. From school projects and workshops to holiday courses and performance opportunities, our youth programmes encourage children and young people to get involved, build confidence and experience the creative process for themselves.
pen to performance
INK offers creative holiday courses for young people aged 8–16, with courses tailored to different age groups. Young people aged 8–11 and 12–16 are encouraged to develop their creativity, build confidence and work together to create original performances for the festival.
INK youth festival
Our INKlings workshops (ages 6–8), run with MissAdventures Theatre Company, introduce younger children to theatre through fun, confidence-building activities.
“We have attended the Youth Festival since it was introduced and have always felt it is fantastic that the team stay to present their work for the students. It is great for students to watch and see new writing and the talented skills of the actors as they showcase their skills and interpretation of characters across the short plays. It is also very important for pupils to see the creative industry functioning in their own community, extending their understanding of careers in the Arts and the positive impact this has. ”
