Youth Groups
Our StageXchange and Next Stage programme serve disadvantaged communities and groups for young people in specific circumstances, such as young carers and looked after children.
StageXchange
The programme includes a series of drama-based workshops (tailored to suit your needs) delivered by expert creative practitioners in your youth group setting, as well as a trip to see a West End show.
StageXchange aims to inspire young people who might not have done any drama previously, supporting them to develop confidence, communication and creativity.
Next Stage
Groups who have participated in StageXchange will have the opportunity to expand on their experience and take part in Next Stage.
Next Stage is a programme which uses drama to help participants develop their aims for their own ‘next stage’. From interview techniques to pitching and presentation skills, the focus is on developing participants’ employability through discussion and drama-based activities, including role-play.
