About BITESIZE

Mostly, we are about FUN, GETTING FIT AND HEALTHY, VOCATIONAL LEARNING, BUILDING A FAMILY COMMUNITY AND DIVERSITY.

The Bitesize Youth Theatre is a not-for-profit community theatre group offering classes in drama, singing, musical theatre and dance. We are inclusive of young people aged 3 – 21. Our qualified professionals are all DBS checked and provide a high level of tuition and fun classes building the skills, confidence and self esteem of our participants. We are able to offer short courses; opportunities to showcase skills and work learnt; we offer work experience trips to the wider arts community and an opportunity to gain certification through London College of Music and Pearson BTEC Our members give back to the community supporting children with additional needs, the elderly in our community and raising funds for various charities. We are all inclusive of young people with additional needs including those with physical (visually impaired, physically impaired, hearing impaired) difficulties; learning difficulties (Down’s syndrome, Irlan’s syndrome, autism including Asperger’s syndrome); emotional and behavioural difficulties ( youngsters referred from CAHM’s including those having suffered abuse and self harming). Our work has been supported by AVOW and we have received a number of awards for mentoring and volunteering. Unlike other arts organisations where performing is the main aim we are more concerned with the development of the physical and mental well being of our young people and restrictions are not put on participation by requirement of being a certain standard.
