Education

The Education team at the New Vic provides creative learning opportunities for everyone from four-years-old and upwards. No experience is needed and everyone is welcome.

We believe that drama, as well as a vital art form in its own right, is a powerful means of learning – promoting problem solving skills , questioning and self-discovery.

We are committed to lifelong learning and giving everyone access to creative opportunities and activities. We work both within the formal education sector and in informal settings. Much of our work is involved in curriculum development and we deliver creative approaches across all subjects.

From Youth Theatre to groups for older adults, holiday projects and family learning, come and get involved!
