Youth Out Loud! : Creative Arts Program
Youth Out Loud! will travel to your school, community or special event. We provide services to children and youth ages 5 through 18, delivering fun and professional programming within the creative and performing arts.
What makes this program unique: Our instructors create the material WITH the participants from SCRATCH!
We have had the pleasure of programming in Saskatchewan, British Columbia and the Yukon Territories and maintain a working relationship with many reputable arts organizations within the Lower Mainland, including the Vancouver School Board.
Youth Out Loud! provides its participants with positive, safe and engaging experiences. We offer opportunities for learning in the areas of music/singing, dance/creative movement, theater/theater improvisation and visual arts as well as tech/stage management opportunities. Those with more experience may be eligible to act as an assistant to one of our instructors.
We are pleased to offer numerous workshops or longer term programming for kids, providing participants with unique, fun and creative experiences in a supportive, peaceful and nurturing atmosphere. This all inclusive and interactive experience is great for those who just want to try something new.
We suggest booking a workshop for a birthday party, school event or just for fun! We can bring the workshop to your space or home but can also arrange for a rental space.
We work with you to ensure that all supplies are provided. (we provide some as a talented and experienced professional artist to facilitate the workshop. Our Studio acts as the liaison between the artist and you our valued client.
