Hans Price joins National Youth Theatre outreach programme

Hans Price Academy have been involved in a groundbreaking workshop with s National Youth Theatre regional outreach initiative which has been launched in partnership with the streaming giant Netflix.

Ignite Your Creativity is a free programme designed to inspire a new generation of young people by showcasing the often-unknown career opportunities available across film, theatre and live events.

As part of the initiative, Year 10 and 11 drama students took part in an interactive Ignite workshop, which introduced key job roles within TV, film and theatre production. The sessions offered students exclusive insight into creative careers, progression routes and the wide range of behind-the-scenes opportunities available within the industry.

The workshop aimed to boost participants’ confidence and creativity while improving students’ employability by opening up access to a breadth of dynamic opportunities and experiences across the creative sector. Students responded enthusiastically, engaging fully with the practical activities and discussions around future career pathways.

This was a valuable and inspiring opportunity for students, who thoroughly enjoyed the experience and left with a greater understanding of the creative industries and how to access them.

CJ Skidmore, Head of Expressive Arts, said: “The Ignite Your Creativity workshop was an inspiring and eye-opening experience for our students.

“It broadened their understanding of the creative industries beyond performance and helped them recognise the wide range of exciting career pathways available.

“Opportunities like this are invaluable in building confidence, raising aspirations and showing young people that there is a place for them within the creative sector.”
