Schools – SILHOUETTE YOUTH THEATRE

Silhouette is committed to supporting schools in the incredible work they do with our young people. We offer a Menu of support that can be seen below, and we run creative projects across a range of schools. We look at using creative practices in class to engage with stories and to develop oracy. All our practitioners have been working in schools for a long time and have a long history of creating projects that have impact. We work with over 42 schools in Northampton and beyond and we cannot thank them enough for their continued support for our charity and the work we do.
