Youth Arts and Education

 

Theatre Royal Stratford East has a strong tradition of work with and by young people…they are our future artists, audiences and educators.

We have a commitment to nurturing new talent, addressing inequality and giving a creative voice to those who are rarely heard.

Taking part in TRSE Youth Arts not only develops creativity but also has the unique ability to reflect upon and understand how our lives are shaped.

Together young people struggle with the injustices and joys they encounter and together explore ways to foster tolerance, understanding and collective responsibility.
