How do youth theatre values shape our approach to creating theatre with young people?
Join us in Limerick to share, learn and network with other youth theatre practitioners! This year’s symposium will focus on making theatre with young people. It will consider the unique and particular artistic practices, challenges and ways of sharing which inspire how we make work in youth theatres.
On October 2nd the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Katherine Zappone TD, announced that as of 11th December 2017 all remaining provisions of the Children First Act 2015 will commence. This is a hugely significant development that will impact all youth theatres.
After a successful pilot in 2016, the IGNITE Youth Theatre Festival is returning in August 2018. The festival will offer youth theatres a valuable opportunity to experience and learn from each others’ production-based work and to showcase quality youth theatre productions at a national level. If you would like your production to be showcased at IGNITE, let us know. We want to start seeing productions NOW!
The deadline has been extended for youth theatres to apply for financial support towards a production of Agóid.
