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.

Summer School 

Last summer Travelling Light and Wyldwood Arts led a FREE drama summer school that got right to the heart of Barton Hill.

Together with a professional Director, Writer and Designer and an incredible team of local young people we created a whole play inspired by the true stories of local people, Hillstories. The performance moved audiences at the Redfest sharing, with hardly a dry eye in the house. This production was then workshopped during the youth theatre autumn term before performing the finished piece at Barton Hill Festival.

Audiences said:

"Fantatic to hear local stories told by children and young people"
"I didn't expect to be so moed by what I witnessed"
"A beautiful tribute to the Barton Hill community"
