Hello December
Hi Parents/Carers/Company Members,
December is here and we can't believe its nearly the end of the NGYT half term.
Wishing all of our friends and families celebrating a happy and safe Hannukah.
It's Showtime!
As we move into December and the end of the NGYT half term there's lots of exciting things happening...
This month we have NGYT demo performances in all of our groups and iGen Company sessions & both Meraki Dance Co and Theatre Co are starting to create their latest pieces for next year.
As we move further into the winter we are so pleased to be back creating, having fun and connecting with you all.
If you've ever wanted to try any NGYT groups or companies now is the time!
Fancy some Dance, Drama, Theatre, Writing or Musical Theatre? Then drop us an email to enquiries@ngyt.co.uk and book your free trial today.
Please keep telling your friends, families & communities all about NGYT and invite them to sign up at the link below:

The Talk: NGYT's Anti-Racism education resource
'The Talk' is a colloquial expression for a conversation Black parents have with their children and teenagers about the dangers they face due to racism or unjust treatment.
At NGYT we were confronted with stories from young Black people, Black artists, actors and friends. We discussed personal experiences of 'The Talk’. It exists.
We know we have a responsibility to open up the 4 walls in which it exists.
The Talk is an educational resource for staff and leaders created to spark the necessary conversations to help lead change for young black people in education today.
Click the link above to find out how to join us, make a pledge with your education setting and create change.
Young minds matter
Kemi has planned a 4-part identity workshop to further support young people which we will be delivering in NGYT company sessions.
When we can support ourselves and each other we can in turn support our young people effectively.
