As the sun sets on the summer holidays we reflect on our remarkable week of creativity, collaboration, and sheer dedication that was our summer outdoor drama project in partnership with Platform Theatre Arts, Tempest.

Elevator Arts is thrilled to announce the expansion of our beloved BLAST Youth Theatre to Basildon this September! Building on the success of our Southend group, we are excited to bring our innovative and inclusive project to more young people in the South Essex area.

This past term has been a whirlwind of creativity, hard work, and joy for BLAST Youth Theatre. Last week, our talented members showcased their end-of-term performance to an enthusiastic audience of family and friends at Southend’s Twenty One.

Embark on a thrilling 6-day journey into outdoor performance with Tempest, set amidst the picturesque backdrop of The Hive at Garon Park, Southend On Sea. This innovative project invites young people to immerse themselves in the magic of Shakespeare's timeless masterpiece, The Tempest.

Labour of Love was a joyful participatory textiles project exploring the experience of motherhood through connection, conversation and creativity.

Over the spring 2024 Elevator Arts had the pleasure of working on Activate with pupils from Friars Primary School & Southchurch High School in partnership with Southend Virtual School for Looked After & Previously Looked After Children.
