Within the first few weeks of the pandemic we moved Brent Youth Theatre online; learning a different way to produce theatre together with our young people. The intention was to have as much fun as possible in this dark time, so we opened brand new projects and spent three nights a week creating together. We also partnered with Woodland Grove Care Home for a pen pal project, sharing experiences and support between young and old. Due to the remote way of working we adopted, we had participants join us from across London, and even from elsewhere in the UK.
