Tell me and I will forget
Show me and I will remember
Involve me and I will Understand
BYT offers weekly workshops exploring various creative techniques used in drama and acting. Through imaginative play, story-telling, movement and voice practice BYT enables participants learning through active participation. The workshops are delivered by fully trained theatre practitioners.
Theatre is a form of knowledge; it should and can also be a means of transforming society. Theatre can help us build our future, rather than just waiting for it.
Drama is an effective tool in teaching children and young people vital social skills, and at BYT we strive not only to improve our participants performance skills but to build their confidence in a fun and safe learning environment.
