Canberra Youth Theatre – Day of Workshops

Canberra Youth Theatre is one of Australia’s leading youth arts companies, empowering young people through theatre productions, workshops, and creative pathways to challenge, reflect, and transform our perspectives of the world.

Canberra Youth Theatre have received a Small Grant to run a day of workshops and devising to finish in a short performance to bring all their LGBTQIA+ participants together in a safe and supportive environment. This event will allow participants to meet their peers and other members of both the CYT community, and the wider LGBTQIA+ community. The program will be open to anyone aged 7 – 25 who identifies as LGBTQIA+.

They are planning the LGBTQIA+ Youth Theatre day because Canberra Youth Theatre has a growing number of LGBTQIA+ participants, spread across our various programs, who do not meet or have opportunities to form a community of like minded individuals.
