Following our call out for partners, we can announce the launch of new youth theatres in Crumlin and Bluebell, Dublin 12.
Dublin 12
This exciting development sees Brú Youth Service and St. Agnes Centre for Music and the Arts (CCMA) partnering to deliver the pilot youth theatre at the Brú in Crumlin village. Running on Saturdays from October 11th, workshops will be led by local professional theatre artists. Catering for young people 12-15, the new pilot group is currently operating at capacity.
In Bluebell, the youth theatre will run on Tuesday evenings from October 7th for young people ages aged 12-15. It will also be facilitated by another local professional theatre artist. It will draw upon members of Bluebell Youth Project, Core Youth Service and Rialto Youth Project and also the wider Drimnagh community. For information on youth theatre in Bluebell, please contact Antoinette@ccrys.org
Youth theatre empowers young people, fostering creativity, building confidence, and develops essential life skills.
We are delighted to partner with these experienced organisations to establish these new youth theatre and look forward to developments in Dublin 12.
Liberties Youth Theatre
We are currently investigating further avenues for the establishment of a youth theatre in The Liberties, Dublin 8. If you are an organisational stakeholder who would like to be involved in this initiative please contact Alan King here at Youth Theatre Ireland. More information to follow soon.
These pilot youth theatres are supported through a Community Development Grant from Dublin City Council.
