Junior Young Company is for children in school years 4-6.

You can book by term or for the whole year on Fri 26 Jun.

When you click book now, please select the terms you would like to purchase. The date shown will be the first date of the term but will give you access to all sessions for that term.

Sessions are designed to develop creative play with lots of games, teamwork, skills building and loads of fun. We further explore using bodies and voices to learn how to tell stories and to turn them into exciting theatre. The emphasis is not on performance at this age but in allowing young people to develop their creativity and curiosity in a safe and fun environment.

There are two Junior Young Company groups – Junior Young Company – Mirror is led by Simon Sanchez. Alternatively, find out more about our Sky group.
