YARD YOUNG ARTISTS

YARD YOUNG ARTISTS

Free workshops for young people from East London, run with and by professional artists.

No auditions, no fees. The new building has a studio just for them. Now, we're planning what goes in it.


Free creative projects and paid work experience with The Yard, led by professional artists working in theatre, performance, design, music, and beyond.It's where the next round of writers, performers, directors, designers, producers and technicians sharpens up.What that looks like in practice: free workshops on creative skills, opportunities to shadow leading artists, call-outs for paid assistant director roles on our shows. We prioritise young East Londoners. The new building has a space dedicated to this work: our Young Artists Studio.

Keep an eye here and on our socials to see what’s coming up next.

“The impact on my creative journey has been massive, because of the support I've received, through mentoring, shadowing opportunities, and well-being support, all of which have allowed me to grow as an artist.”

Heavadny

“I have seen there is value in my voice on a stage. I have been quiet for so long because I thought my voice doesn’t matter. I’ve realised that it does because it’s my experience - I’m speaking for me.”
