Raising The Game is NAYT’s long-established training event for Youth Theatre directors, practitioners, freelancers and assistants working with a variety of groups in an YT context. This year we're working with the Academy of Live & Recorded Arts and their two campuses.
The North RTG will take place in Wigan on the 14-15th September.
The South RTG happens in London 21-22nd Sept.
The weekend includes a series of high quality workshops from artists from across the UK, an opportunity to network with other YT practitioners. It’s also a friendly and inclusive space, designed to connect people together in a like-minded community. Experienced artists can learn new skills, as well as a nurturing environment for emerging practitioners. In addition to workshops, we run a special Youth Theatre Forum event, and programming a performance into the Saturday night.
