Back in the Room - A Youth Theatre Practice Symposium

Youth Theatre Ireland

University College Cork

<h3>We are very much Back in the Room as the 2021 Youth Theatre Practice Symposium returns to UCC in November.</h3>The last eighteen months have been a steep learning curve for us all. We have experienced some personal and professional highs and lows since March 2020. The existence of youth theatre, and its place in the lives of young people, has never been more vulnerable or more essential. Thankfully, we&#x27;ve survived and as we are now getting Back in the Room, we can take our collective experiences, our shared knowledge to build a brighter future for youth theatre across Ireland.Exploring themes of recovery and resilience we will hear from keynote speakers and leading practitioners. We will share our experiences of the last eighteen months, exploring tools, strategies, and approaches for getting Back in the Room.Our workshops and talks will cover approaches to challenging material, unlocking creativity, and developing self-care and resilience.We will celebrate the abundance of original material created in the digital space, with a curated retrospective of our members&#x27; work over the last eighteen months. Coupled with live youth theatre performance as part of Playshare, we&#x27;ll continue to put the voices of young people at the centre of Irish Youth Theatre. With even more opportunities to network, share practice and socialise, the Youth Theatre Practice Symposium is the ideal way to reconnect our youth theatre sector once again. We cannot wait to see you there.The Government announced some changes to restrictions from 22nd October.
