Do not miss the opportunity to be part of a transformative moment in youth theatre and theatre practices.Join us for an inspiring and insightful symposium dedicated to creating a greener, more sustainable future in youth theatre.
Youth Theatre Ireland are delighted to be partnering with TU Dublin School of Media, TU Dublin Sustainability, and the TU Dublin Conservatoire to deliver our Youth Theatre Practice Symposium at TU Dublin, East Quad, Grangegorman Campus, Dublin 7, on November 8th and 9th 2024.
TU Dublin is a fitting partner for this event, as it aims to become one of the world’s most sustainable universities, sharing with Youth Theatre Ireland a belief in sustainable practices and a commitment to transformation.
Bringing together some of the leading minds and changemakers working in Irish theatre, youth theatre, film, and youth work, we hope to provide an exciting symposium focusing on sustainable practices in youth theatre.
With two days of presentations, workshops, performances, and social events to connect and network, you will have the opportunity to gather resources, develop strategies and build your own sustainable practices.
Speakers and workshop facilitators include Medb Lambert,Alex Konieczka, Maeve Stone, Sinéad Wallace, and Luke Casserly.
As ever, no symposium would be complete without our annual Playshare event. This year’s performances are:
- Aftertaste by Ciara Elizabeth Smyth performed by DLR Mill Youth Theatre Group, Dundrum.
- Legend of Skønhed by Activate Youth Theatre performed by FunHouse Youth Theatre, Tullamore.
- The Oasis by Michelle Read performed by Act Out YT, Navan.
With ever more contributors being added over the coming weeks, this symposium will appeal to those already engaged in youth theatre practice, artists, arts and community workers with an interest in youth theatre, and the wider theatre, education, youth work and community sectors.
Supported by the Youth Climate Justice Fund, from the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, The Arts Council and TU Dublin’s Office of the Vice President of Sustainability.
