Young Monks

Please note that we are in the process of migrating the previous Young Monks website to this website.

Young Monks is a contemporary theatre , performance practice for children.

Theatre is also expressing feeling and emotions, imagining and co – creating. It is a space which provides freedom for young people to explore various aspects of life, to develop their emotional & sensory faculties & to express themselves with a sense of purpose, understanding & beauty.

Here we discover the poetry of life. We read together stories and learn how to make our own stories & scripts. We practice speech and movements to bring the stories to life. We make friends and have fun.

We hope to create spaces and facilitate an experience for children to help them grow up with the creative consciousness and skills in contemporary arts & performance practices which will help them in their future pursuits.
