Bounce Theatre

Bounce Theatre We offer art and writing projects as well as theatre groups within the community.

Bounce makes original, brave, and imaginative work - fusing theatre and visual art into an innovative programme of creative learning, youth theatre and community projects. We currently run three youth theatres in Earlsfield, Tooting and Kingston, a digital writing workshop for young people, two art projects for adults and a community project. We also run Speech Bubbles, a drama for communication

programme, in three schools within Wandsworth. We give people the opportunity to access quality art, writing and theatre projects to make great art. We also allow people to be creative, be in control of the direction of their project and exceed expectations.

A little glimpse into Bounce Club. 👋

Turning 2D images into 3D sculptures.
Turning sculptures into characters.
Creating stories from their imaginations.

We’re diving into our collaboration with , exploring how art can take you somewhere else while you wait, especially when that waiting happens in hospital.

Lots of exploring.
Lots of thinking.
Lots of ideas taking shape.

A creative space to play, imagine and see where stories can lead.

Age 10-12?

Join us and twist up some familiar tales.

First up, we have Hansel and Gretel who loose their sensory fidgets in the forest before their phone signal drops, and have to remember the way to the lady on TikTok with the candy house to feed their empty stomachs.

Our after school sessions for young people involve mashing up stories, reimagining traditional fairytales and hanging out at the Home Cafe. Everyone is welcome. No experience necessary. Acting is optional. There is scope to write, draw and contribute in the way that allows you to celebrate your creativity.

Familiar tales.
Unexpected turns.
Lots of laughter.

A creative space for young people to explore their ideas and make them their own.

We sat along for the ride as our young people mashed Hansel and Gretel up this week.
They drop their sensory fidgets in the forest before their phone signal drops, and have to remember the way to the lady on TikTok with the candy house to feed their empty stomachs.

It’s a real joy to watch young people’s creativity in action.

This term, our after school sessions for young people involve mashing up stories, reimagining traditional fairytales and hanging out at the Home Cafe.

Familiar tales.
Unexpected turns.
Lots of laughter.

A creative space for young people to explore their ideas and make them their own.

Thanks to , we’ve started a new project with in Richmond.
We’re exploring the idea of Radical Joy. Or creating joyful moments even if it feels vulnerable.
Together we are making a community quilt. Each patch tells a story of joy.
Cultural tales remembered from childhood, after school in a friend’s house.
Drawing to relax the mind.
Rescuing and loving a kitten left alone.
Nature
Music.
Different starting points.
Different ways in.

supports young people who are finding mainstream education challenging, creating space to reconnect, rebuild confidence and find new ways forward. They have sites in Kingston & Richmond and welcome community support.

Today is World Autism Day.

At Bounce, this isn’t something we step into for a day. It has been something that has been quietly shaping how we make work, every day.
Learning to understand different rhythms.
Finding new ways to listen.
Recognising that language is more than words — it moves.
We’ve been doing this slowly, carefully.
Using theatre as a form that can stretch, shift and grow when we centre difference.
Where all children are collaborators, storytellers, leaders in the room.
Listening to each other’s rhythms.
Breaking new ground as they find points of togetherness.
Making work that couldn’t exist without every one of us in it.
Because when we centre difference, something else happens
a new languages emerge, new forms take shape, and the world opens up a little wider.
We all belong.
Everyday.

If you would like to find out more about our work & opportunities for children and young people to join in with us drop us a DM.

Reflecting on the first three months of the year,
we can’t help but feel proud.

Over 380 young people bounced with us in three months.

We made Snowed In, a performance with, for and by children.
A way of asking how we can all belong to the story.
It was a project which made us think differently, and it’s left us excited for what comes next.

We continue a collage and poetry project with autistic girls who have blossomed as artists, since we adopted the BLOOM framework from .occupational.therapist & in our workshops.

We trialled Speech Bubbles with Reception children for the first time, sessions full of small words, big adventures, lots of joy.

With Bridge, we explored intrinsic motivation, what happens when young people are given total agency in how they join in the brief.

, invited us into a new collaboration,
seeing the hospital art and heritage through the eyes of Bounce Club.

We popped up at The Beat Goes On,
bringing colour, story and family art into the mix.

Different stories.
Different ways in.
The same belief underneath it all.

That young people have brilliant, complicated, funny and important things to say,
and we just have to find the right way to listen.

💛

Today we were lucky to be part of The Beat Goes On,
Children and families sat side by side,
chatting,
cutting shapes,
sharing scissors,
passing paper across the table.
Some stayed for a few minutes,
some for much longer
My favourite thing happened
Stories began
Papers became robots and creatures
Polar bears walked under rainbows
Ideas took shape in words
And sometimes there weren’t spoken,
but made.
Lots of small moments,
sparking joy,
all day.

A highlight from our week:
Three children sitting with a photo of a hospital.
Sharing thoughts and ideas
For, a story.
“The Heroes of the Hospital.”
A lion and a unicorn guarding St George’s,
defeating viruses,
healing people,
as the hospital grows around them.
At Bounce, everything starts here.
With children.
With imagination.
With the stories they find in the world around them.
We meet them there.
And we build together.
This is where theatre starts


Heroes of the Hospital is inspired by artworks from the St George’s Art and Heritage Collection.
kindly invited Bounce Club to bring their imagination to ‘Our Hospital: conserving, curating and responding to St George’s Art and Heritage Collection’ project, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund is a three-year project focusing on conserving, cataloguing, reinterpreting and digitising St George’s Hospital’s unique Art and Heritage Collection so it can be enjoyed by many more people!
