WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?
From our teaching teams to our activities, discover what makes our drama classes so awesome!
Big Bold Youth was founded in 2015 and established as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company in 2017, with a mission to provide affordable and accessible drama activities for young people across the UK. Our main policy is acceptance. We want every child to have the opportunity to experience drama, even if they don’t wish to forge a career as an actor. There are huge benefits to be gained from joining a local drama group, from building confidence to improving communication. Whether your joining one of our weekly drama classes or enjoying an action packed school workshop, we have created an educational framework to guide our students through the process of developing skills in acting, voice and movement.
Our Mission
We want to ensure that every young person in Newport Pagnell and the surrounding areas has access to drama through our affordable and accessible activities, both in and outside school.
Student Development
Using our educational framework, we always focus on our student’s development, not the cost!
Education
We pride ourselves on having some of the most passionate teaching staff around, all of whom are working industry professionals and have trained at some of the country’s leading drama schools.
