In partnership with Bristol Old Vic, Hauser & Wirth Somerset is delighted to announce the return of the hugely successful Youth Theatre Summer School.

This is an incredible opportunity for young people aged between 11 – 16 years interested in drama and performing arts. Working with professional artists and directors from Bristol Old Vic, participants will experiment and create a new play told through movement, music and theatre taking inspiration from our exhibition, ‘GRUPPENAUSSTELLUNG’. This two-week summer school will conclude with a public performance at Hauser & Wirth Somerset.

The summer school will run Monday – Friday, 10 am – 5 pm between 31 July – 11 August. Please note that there is a subsidised fee of £200 for the two-week course.
