CHANGING LIVES THROUGH THEATRE
The main focus behind Theatre for Life CIC is to provide young people with real experiences within the Performing Arts through subsidised industry led workshops, free youth and community theatre projects. We work with young people aged 14-25 years old from the most disadvantaged communities in Southampton and across Hampshire to create inspiring and engaging opportunities within the arts.
Placing our theatre makers at the centre of our work enables them to become confident artists, whilst improving wellbeing and career development in the arts, changing lives through the medium of theatre.
We are committed to being an inclusive and diverse organisation, embracing everyone's story through our storytelling and creation of original work.

in 2019 Theatre for Life CIC Youth Theatre was selected as a partner organisation and venue.
The National Youth Theatre's Auditions Access Fund supported by Hugh Bonneville
As part of the National Youth Theatre's ongoing commitment to outreach and access, they have launched a new Auditions Access Fund, supported by NYT Alumnus and Patron Hugh Bonneville. The grant of £37,500 will support free participation in workshops and auditions over three years at 30 schools and youth groups around Great Britain which have lost drama provision.
YOUTH THEATRE PRODUCTION 2019 ‘Silent Mind’ was an interactive theatre piece which showcased our actors creative journeys and exploration into mental health awareness through a devised style of performance. We wanted to ultimately create a ‘Silent Mind’ for both actor and audience member, free from anxiety and feelings of low self esteem. We embedded coping strategies such as meditation and breathing work within the body of the piece to encourage our audience members to focus on creating their own ‘Silent Mind’. We worked with drama therapists, music therapists and professional artists such as Luke Brown Dance and director Max Lindsay , alongside our ongoing partnership with Solent Mind.
