Louder Than Words
Louder Than Words is a unique drama group for D/deaf and Disabled young people aged 7-16 years.
Each week young people can have fun, make friends and learn new skills in drama, music and storytelling in a supported and friendly environment with a team of experienced practitioners. Sessions are planned with the individual needs of young people in mind and delivered in a way which supports each group member’s development and participation and plays to their strengths.
Throughout the year young people have the opportunity to work with our other youth theatre groups and share what they have learnt and created with their families, friends and the community.

Access
Louder Than Words is a specialist Youth Theatre group for D/deaf and Disabled young people. We try to make sure all our Youth Theatre groups are inclusive. Please speak to us about your child’s requirements and we can discuss the group that might be the best fit.
We use a visual timetable to help participants understand the format of the session and the room is set up in the same way each week.
We use a variety of resources to engage young people in the sessions and there is quiet space and chill out zone provided in each session.
There is step free access to the Travelling Light studio and an accessible toilet.
Watch a short video with Rebecca, our Lead Facilitator for Louder Than Words. Rebecca welcomes you to Travelling Light and gives you a quick tour from the entrance at Wellspring Settlement on Ducie Road and into the Travelling Light studio, where our drama sessions take place.
