DIALOGUE
We like to talk… in fact, more than that… we like to listen.
We like to hear what young people have got to say.
We like to understand what drives young artists, what skills and experiences they seek and what they want to express to the world.
We like to engage in conversation and get excited about making theatre in new ways, in new places and see what’s possible.
Dialogue is central to how we work; every person we meet has the potential to inspire the next piece of work or company plan and we use all channels available to us to engage in creative exchange.
This Dialogue space is a shared online space between Scottish Youth Theatre and its community. It hosts a range of different forms of engagement, to inform young theatre makers about the industry, develop their skills and provide a space for conversation and networking. From an ongoing programme of podcasts, blogs and bulletins, to live online sessions with professional practitioners, this forum is for young artists to engage with us as they cultivate their practice and venture into the creative sector.

Gathering with current and past project participants, this podcast discusses their individual and collective experiences, hoping to create a space for them to reflect and offer advice for those also embarking on their own creative journeys.
Check out the first episode of our podcast!
Introducing our new podcast series exploring the ominous ‘in-between’ space that young artists frequently tend to find themselves. Listen as we gather round a 'table' with young creatives to debate the restrictions posed by funding, opportunity and access they have found in their careers so far and how they still make exciting work from it.
