YARD YOUNG ARTISTS

At The Yard Theatre, artist development starts at age 9.

We work with young people from East London aged 9-21 to explore the possibilities of theatre, through free workshops that prioritise playful experimentation and partnerships with professional artists. We call it Yard Young Artists.

Most recently, our powerhouse 16-25 company worked with Olivier nominated Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu and artist Dan de la Motte, working from the ground up, to create a bold, new piece inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

Our new theatre will have a studio dedicated just for our Yard Young Artists— and we need people to fill it. Keep an eye out here, and on our socials for more.

“The Yard has demonstrated a deep commitment to the local area. Programmes such as Yard Young Artists are essential for local children to explore their creativity.”
