Youth Theatre

Create - Perform - Experience - Connect- Tell your story

Travelling Light run four weekly youth theatre groups from our studio in Barton Hill Settlement, Bristol.  No experience or audition necessary, these groups are open to everyone and provide a safe space for young people to express themselves each week.

Being part of Travelling Light Youth Theatre you will:

• Create your own work.  We are a devising company which means we shape the stories we tell together.
• Perform your shows at theatres, showcases and unique locations around Bristol.
• Experience working with professional directors, designers and choreographers.
• Connect with friends, discover new skills and have fun!
