Introducing a new segment - The Big Chat! We talk to Rebecca Feely about the Creative Residency Programme.

On this pre-recorded podcast the Youth Theatre Ireland team, including former Administrator Joanne, talk about how they got involved in youth theatre.

In the latest episode of the Intermission Podcast, Rebecca Feely gives us an overview on the Young Critics application process. We will be opening the applications soon, and we want to take the uncertainty out of applying. Please share with your members.

The Youth Theatre Ireland team also takes a deep dive on the Membership Survey 2024.

Did you know that 60% of our member youth theatre groups had an overall increase of members in 2023?

Or that only 22% of groups have contact with their local County Councillor?

We examine these stats and more in detail and offer advice and tips on how best to increase visibility, funding and committee building.

Hosted by Youth Theatre Ireland’s Director, Eoghan Doyle with contributions from Deputy Director Alan King , National Programme Co-ordinator Rebecca Feely , and Administrator Joanne Heffernan, this extended edition of the podcast is a must listen episode.

Packed with information, it will set you all nicely up as we embark on our first Youth Theatre Online session for 2024…

The Young Critics Panel at Dublin Theatre Festival.

This is an edited version of the Young Critics Panel discussion held at Project Arts Centre, Dublin on Sunday October 8th 2023.

Dr. Karen Fricker chairs the panel discussion around three productions:Somewhere Out There You (Nancy Harris & Wayne Jordan, Abbey Theatre), Distillation (Luke Casserly, Goethe-Intitut) and Out of the Blue (Silke Huysmans & Hannes Dereere, Project Arts Centre).

The conversation then extends to questions around what constitutes theatre, what the young people have learned during the programme and how theatre can be more accessible for young and disabled people.
