Empire Youth Arts also provides a number of classes outside Toowoomba, including term long classes, workshops, masterclasses and educational support, working in Dalby, Lockyer Valley, the Somerset Region, Mitchell, Miles, Charleville, Pittsworth and Crows Nest in the past few years.
IMPACT Ensemble 2021
Too often, young people are underestimated as a vital part of our changing world. Now in its eleventh year, the IMPACT Ensemble continues to challenge assumptions and places youth voice in the spotlight.
Our Junior and Senior Ensembles are advanced performance-making programs which offer young people a variety of professional performance experiences. Their aim is to present a published work or to create a new one that speaks effectively with the voice of young people, by young people, and for young people.
Entry is based on audition and the ensemble works across the year towards a public performance outcome. This program has established a platform for youth voice to be heard within our region, and continues to cultivate new opportunities for the development of empowered young artists.
2020 marked a decade since the program began, and this year we're excited to be continuing it. Information about our Ensembles will be released soon, so watch this space and follow Empire Youth Arts on Facebook and Instagram for updates.
