We’re on the lookout for 18-25 year olds to join our board!

It’s a fantastic way to build real experience in the arts, but you don’t need to take our word for it. Here’s what Hannah, one of our Young Board Directors, has to say:

“Being a Young Board Member is a great opportunity to give back and really help Toonspeak to help inspire other young people as they've inspired me. It's helped build my confidence and given me great insight into how things run behind the scenes. From sitting on hiring panels to looking at budgets, it's definitely helped in developing my employability and made me more knowledgeable when I go for interviews.”

If you’re aged 18–25 and want to support our free youth theatre programme while gaining experience of governance in the arts sector, we want to hear from you!

Countdown to our end of term sharing for Drama Toonies in Barmulloch ⏱️

Our Drama Toonies in Barmulloch have been taking inspiration from Frantic Assembly and Forced Entertainment as they build a movement based performance and explore physical storytelling. It has been wonderful to see our youngest youth theatre members growing in confidence and trying out new ideas.

We’re looking forward to seeing the finished pieces at the end of term.

Phoenix Group have been busy rehearsing their adaptation of Metamorphosis, the classic story by Franz Kafka. They’re getting ready to share their version of this well‑known tale at our Transform Showcase at the end of term.

This week they were blocking movement for the performance. Our artists taped out the stage so everyone could practise moving through the space and build confidence in the choreography.

They’re learning new skills and having fun as they shape the final piece and we can’t wait to see it performed!

What actually makes a play? 🤔

Young Company spent the evening exploring that question with playwright Jenny Knotts, and trying out writing exercises to get words on the page and turn ideas into a script.

Big thanks to Jenny for a focused, lively session that opened up new ways of thinking about writing for the stage.
