“I am now at Drama School in London. I can see how much of a head start I got with my training in Rainbow. It changed my life and gave me everything I needed to go on to further my career.”Rainbow Factory Graduate
YouthAction Northern Ireland’s The Rainbow Factory School of Performing Arts
As a centre of excellence we provide exceptional performing arts training to young people of all backgrounds and abilities. The standard of coaching delivered by industry professionals is highly respected throughout arts industry and beyond. We underpin everything we do with the very best of youth work techniques and principles to ensure the young people we work with develop not just professionally, but personally and socially. We produce spellbinding, ‘sell out’ shows that thrill audiences, and showcase the dynamic talents of the Rainbow Factory students. We use the performing arts in all its disciplines, to transform the lives and outlooks of young people. We work hard to make our services affordable or free where possible to make sure everyone is welcome no matter their circumstances.
Through our renowned ‘issue based’ theatre projects, the young people are given a high profile platform upon which to educate and inspire the world with issues that are close to their hearts and minds. A strong focus is placed on peer to peer learning and young people are offered opportunities to help others, particularly pertaining to mental health issues. Ultimately the social and personal development of the young people is of paramount importance; from simply having fun and making friends to receiving a standing ovation after weeks of intense rehearsals, we aim to make our school of performing arts and wider society a happy, hopeful and healthy place to be.
