We are a lively, friendly youth theatre and our main aim, through drama games, improvisation and performance is to build confidence for children of all ages and help develop skills that will last a lifetime. A goal for the Swan Youth Theatre is to have fun with new friends, become a part of an ensemble, all while learning new theatre skills and technics. The groups work towards formal sharing at the end of each term and a main stage performance each year.

 14 -18 year olds - In our sessions, we aim to encourage creativity, confidence and give our students the skills to better their craft as performers. We work with many different performance styles and the creative process behind that, such as devising work solo and with a group, working from a piece of text and storytelling both verbally and physically.

Our senior Swan Youth Theatre will be offered a variety of trips to local / regionally events and performances throughout the year as well as being invited to the in-house performances at the Swan Theatre. 

Saturday Relaxed Sessions

Relaxed sessions of SYT are held at the Swan Theatre on Saturday's and are intended for children with additional needs or for those that prefer to take things at a relaxed pace. To find out more, click here.

Important Information on the Swan Youth Theatre 

Location of sessions

Swan Theatre:

Sessions are run in the Studio Block at the Swan Theatre. The Studio is located to the right of the Main Theatre building and is accessed through the gated theatre yard (During session times the gate will be open). Sessions are held either downstairs in the Bransford Trust Studio which is on the ground floor or upstairs in the Vesta Tilley Studio. We will let you know which studio we are using for which group. There is signage on the wall in front of the theatre giving directions and a sign on the Studio block itself which is visible from the road. 
Students should be dropped off in the Swan Theatre foyer where they will meet the Youth Practitioners who will take them over to the theatre space.

Pershore Number 8:

All Junior and Intermediate members should be accompanied into The Courtyard Room lobby by a parent or guardian and handed over to the Youth Tutor. All Junior and Intermediate members should be collected from the Tutor from this space or just outside at the end of the session.

Fees 

Students have a trial session for free, and moving forward we will request payments that can be paid termly or annually.
