ReBels: ages 12 – 15
Our ReBels Talent Development Training Sessions for ages 12 - 15 return from Monday 11 January 2021 and are back to being held at Barbican Theatre and The Loft. Check out what we have planned for our Spring term sessions below. You can choose as many sessions for your age group as you like and it will still only cost you £40
(unless you joined back in the Autumn term - in that case you've already paid so it'll cost you nothing more for January to July!)
ReBels: what's happening in Spring 2021 classes
The six ages 12 - 15 groups will be project based e.g. comedy, puppetry, contemporary dance, hip hop and spoken word. Some will be creating performances for Barbican Theatre's big production at the end of May.
There will still be Theatre or Dance training in each project with experienced practitioners you know. However, these smaller groups give us an opportunity to try new things. During the creative time in each class there will be extra opportunities to learn cross overs like music or beatbox poetry too.
January to April 2021
Sessions run on Monday and Tuesday evenings from Monday 11 January 2021. Members can attend more than one session (subject to their being spaces) which is still included in their one off fee

Why We Exist...
We believe that young people's creativity has no limits or restrictions
How we do the Why...
You can't be what you can't see.
A young person should encounter endless different creative outlets and opportunities to help find the best way to express themselves. Without financial, social or cultural barriers.
What ReBels do...
We provide project focussed training groups that allow young people to experience and develop with mutiple artforms and styles, while focussing on one production or performance. We listen to our young people to find out what they want - if we don't already cover subjects or artforms they want that's how we find out and develop with and for them.
