Our young company at BLAST Youth Theatre are well into rehearsals for Found – and the energy is electric!

We’re feeling incredibly inspired by the creativity and passion that has emerged during the development of Ripple Effect. This term, both groups of Blast Youth Theatre have explored powerful themes of migration, acceptance, and unity, using their unique voices to share their stories.

We’re thrilled to announce Ripple Effect, an inspiring new theatre project created by BLAST Youth Theatre and funded by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Elevator Arts is thrilled to announce the expansion of our beloved BLAST Youth Theatre to Basildon this September! Building on the success of our Southend group, we are excited to bring our innovative and inclusive project to more young people in the South Essex area.

This past term has been a whirlwind of creativity, hard work, and joy for BLAST Youth Theatre. Last week, our talented members showcased their end-of-term performance to an enthusiastic audience of family and friends at Southend’s Twenty One.

BLAST Youth Theatre had lots of spooky fun at Southend-On-Sea’s third annual Halloween Parade.

BLAST Youth Theatre's latest production was nothing short of enchanting. The young performers, with their boundless energy and creativity, transported the audience into a world where fairies danced, and dragons roared.

As we near the end of another jam packed summer term BLAST Youth Theatre are preparing their magical fairytale show!
