For Young Disabled People

Louder Than Words

Louder Than Words is a unique drama group for disabled young people aged 7+. Each week young people can have fun, make friends and learn new skills in drama, music, 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.

Each term young people have the opportunity to share what they have learnt and created with their families.

To register your interest in joining the group, complete the online form here, or contact Louise Betts: louise@travellinglighttheatre.org.uk.

If you are interested in joining the group, watch our series of short videos that introduce the Hello Song, the Yes Let's Game, The Cards, Rainbow and The Goodbye Song. Watch the videos here.

“Monday drama is one club that she just cant wait to get to. When she is with you she can completely be her own person, follow & use her own ideas or just "be". There is nothing else like this on offer in Bristol.” Parent

“I don’t like it here…I LOVE it here” - Participant

“Thank you for putting so much effort into adapting the session to support him he told us about being a cowboy on the way home.” – Parent
