Theatre for Youth Branch 2000

In September 1992, Alvin Tan, Artistic Director of The Necessary Stage, established the Theatre For Youth Branch.

The aims of the Branch are:


to expose young people to theatre;
to create a space for artistic expression by and for young people;
to cultivate the aesthetic sensibilities of young people; and
to explore themes and issues relevant to young people in Singapore


We believe that theatre must grow out of the community and therefore pay close attention to issues that concern young people and educators. Our programmes develop from research, careful planning and consultation. The concern that students should benefit fully has led us to theoretical and hands-on learning; and cultivate students' life-skills and contribute towards their personal development. This includes developing comprehensive resource packs for teachers, which accompany every programme that contains a play. These contain suggestions for pre as well as follow-up activities that can be used to stimulate and guide further exploration of the relevant themes from the play.

The Branch also believes strongly in, and welcomes, partnerships with other sectors in society to achieve holistic outcomes for our programmes.
