Join the Inclusive Young Company (IYC) – 2025 Auditions Now Open
Are you passionate about theatre? Your chance to step into the spotlight is here.
A partnership with Access Path Productions, SRT’s Inclusive Young Company (IYC) is a holistic theatre-making programme for young persons and adults between the ages of 16 – 35, who identify as d/Deaf, disabled, or neurodivergent. Both SRT and Access Path Productions as organisations believe in addressing the imbalance of accessibility to the arts.
We believe in working with you, your experiences, and your stories, to support disabled-led and -focused work. We are passionate about guiding and honing your artistry and capabilities as individuals, with high-quality processes and execution.
IYC features professional masterclasses and mentorship led by international artist Grace Lee-Khoo and various guest facilitators, which will provide a platform for the development of your creative potential as an independent performer and theatre-maker.
Our key outcomes for this exciting programme include offering equality of learning and personal as well as professional development for young persons, engaging the general public with performances that reflect the experiences of marginalised communities in Singapore, and deepening the wider conversation around access in the arts, and beyond.
