Online resources and activities
Making creative connections with our participants
We are currently engaging and sharing creative content with participants from our Louder Than Words and ActionSpeak groups - our Youth Theatre groups for young people with disability and additional needs. We want to ensure we are reaching those who continue to be most hit by isolation and the impact of social distancing.
We are offering our other youth theatre participants the opportunity to complete both Discover and Bronze Arts Award online, with support from one of Travelling Light's Arts Award advisors.
If you are not currently in Travelling Light's Youth Theatre but would like to complete your Arts Award online, please do get in touch. You can find out more about both Awards and what is required on our Arts Award online page here.
Although many of our Youth Theatre resources are specially made for our existing participants, on this page we share content that we are able to make more widely available.

Three Kings - activity packs
"Have you ever seen such a night as this? so many stars, so many stories, which one is yours?"
Our moving storytelling tale, Three Kings, for ages 5+ toured to schools, community venues and professional venues in Autumn 2018.
These activity packs contain ideas for activities based around Three Kings, but can certainly be enjoyed without having seen the production. The activites are aimed at those for aged 5-11 years old but can be adapted.
We would love to hear from you if you have any photos, videos or examples you would like to share with us.
