Young People's Participatory Theatre
The Young People's Participatory Theatre project (YPPT) is a three-year DCMS-funded initiative to develop youth and participatory theatre in England 2005/06–2008/09.
The definition of theatre within the scope of this project includes circus, street arts and experimental theatre and the age range we are working with is young people aged 11 - 25 years. The project comes to an end in March 2009.
The programme aims include: a commitment to increase young people's access to and participation in theatre, raising the profile and status of participatory work, and positively addressing issues of quality.
The YPPT project falls into four broad categories: Mapping and Research, Projects and Events, Publications and Pilot Projects. Each category is defined by its individual projects.
