Creative Pathways is a new development programme from Full House Theatre for local artists and creatives delivering cultural activities for children and young people. Over the next 18 months we will roll out a range of paid opportunities to engage, develop and empower our creative community.

The first strand of this project is a programme of development opportunities designed to provide a space to learn and reflect, as well as spend time with a peer group of creative practitioners, artists and actors with a shared aim to work with children and young people.

This programme is for practitioners at any stage of their career and you are welcome to sign up to the sessions that best meet your needs, or all of them! Priority will be given to people living in Central Bedfordshire but we are happy to hear from people who have a strong link to Central Beds. Each session is for a group of 10 participants to ensure the most impactful experience possible, when you register your interest in a session we will get in touch with you to confirm if you have been offered a place.

These sessions are paid, you will receive a fee of £50 for taking part in this session. There is an access budget available.
