Our level 6 Performance students will be performing 'Market Boy' in The Bramall Rock Void at Leeds Playhouse next week. We welcome you to come join us for this free performance.

13- year old Boy learns all about love, masculinity and Thatcher’s “Free Market” from the duckers, divers and dealers on the stalls of Kirkgate. A new, one-act adaptation of Eldridge’s 80’s play explores politics, poverty and prosperity with non-traditional casting.

Adapted by director, Aimee Shields, David Eldridge's Market Boy now finds itself set in Kirkgate Market, Leeds.

Dates:
Wed, Jan 19 / 7:30 PM
Thu, Jan 20 / 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM

We’re thrilled that one of our previous students, Aamta, will be a member of Arts Council England’s Youth Advisory Board this year!

Say hello to our new Youth Advisory Board!

This weekend marked the board’s first meeting and where better to start this journey than at Leeds Art Gallery 🙌

From sharing ideas about how we work to what projects we fund – we’re excited to listen and embed youth voice across our organisation.

To bring this vision to life we’re working with Youth Focus North West, Youth Focus: North East and Regional Youth Work Unit, Yorkshire and Humber along with Young Trustees Movement

Today marks the first day of Black History Month - this year's theme is 'Proud to be'. This month is intended to recognise the contribution and achievements of those with African or Caribbean heritage. It's also an opportunity for people to learn more about the effects of racism and how to challenge negative stereotypes.
