southwark theatres' education partnership

Peckham Shed's Youth Theatre is recruiting new members!

* Our Youth Theatre is open to young people aged 12 – 16 years old and is FREE
* We meet every Wednesday 5.30 - 7pm at the Harris Academy, Peckham Road.
* To apply either email [email protected] or just come along to the sessions.
* We use a wide range of disciplines to make exciting theatre including: Script work, devising, movement, dance, song, art, animation, comedy… in fact anything our members decide they’d like to try.
* We often bring in artists who are specialists in a creative area – dance, film making to support the growth of our members.
* We regularly take our members on trips to see shows.
* We are user led and encourage our members to make decisions about the work we do.
* Once our members reach 17 we encourage them to support our sessions with younger children and to develop their skills as leaders. We’re also looking at trialling a new group for young people aged 17+.

This is what some of our members have said about Peckham shed in the past:

* It makes me feel happy
* The older members of the shed help new members when they arrive
* It teaches me how to accept what each person offers me even if I don’t understand it at first
* It makes me feel appreciated and I feel free when I come here
