BLAST Youth Theatre
Elevator Arts launched BLAST Youth Theatre in autumn 2021 when we joined forces with Welcome To The UK, a Southend-based charity dedicated to guiding newly arrived immigrant families on their journey to embracing life in the UK.
BLAST Youth Theatre is a vibrant hub for youngsters aged 8-12, focussed on those with English as an additional language. Through dynamic and exhilarating drama activities, we ignite the spark of confidence, develop language skills & support well-being.
BLAST Youth Theatre (Southend) is currently funded by Postcode Places Trust a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
“Taking part made me feel happy & very joyful. I have learnt confidence and taking part - expressing myself more through acting.”
