Elevator Arts

Elevator Arts delivers interactive drama workshops to young people aged 8-18 in Southend and South Essex.

They work with young people who experience barriers to learning due to reasons including but not restricted to, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, gender or disability. They are immersed in the whole process including storytelling, drama, movement, soundscape, puppetry, and visual theatre.  

Our funding helped the group to organise workshops and a special show with young people who speak English as an additional language. The project was driven by the young people themselves, where they learnt new creative skills through the support of professional artists to devise and create the performance based on their own ideas, research, and personal stories.
