All about the course

Youth Company allows young people aged 16 to 17 to participate in a rehearsal environment surrounded by peers. You will learn the skills required to take a text from page to performance. The course will culminate in a brief informal showing of your work. 

The course will start from the beginning, introducing the rules of a rehearsal room.  You will receive rehearsal skill training, providing a foundation in movement and voice. You will then spend the remaining time rehearsing your texts, ready for showing.
 

What will I learn?

  • You will explore the process of building a character in a rehearsal room.

  • You will learn to work as an ensemble.

  • You will gain insight and feedback from our expert teachers and directors who will empower you every step of the way, helping you to build a process of your own.
