get involved
We want you to experience the arts first hand. You can join a training programme, theatre or dance company, a young people's group or become a volunteer!
We are always open to conversations that help you to make your mark. This might be through access to our rehearsal spaces, technical knowledge or simply bouncing creative ideas around!
