BT Performance is a weekly programme for young performers who are ready to explore new theatrical styles, develop core performance skills, and build confidence on stage. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your practice further, this class offers a space to grow, experiment, and collaborate.

We’re committed to making our youth programme accessible to everyone.

As a charity, we receive some funding to deliver our creative programmes – but this doesn’t cover all of our costs. To help us keep our classes affordable and open to as many young people as possible, we've introduced a tiered pricing structure for our termly membership.

Here’s how it works:

• Everyone gets the same great classes, led by professional artists.
• You choose the price that feels right for your family.
• If you’re in a position to give a little more, you can opt for the 'Help Us' tier to support the programme’s long-term sustainability.

It’s a simple 'Help Us, Help You' approach – you choose what you can afford, and every contribution goes directly into keeping our programme inclusive and high-quality.

Bursaries availableWe also offer no-questions-asked bursaries for families who need extra support. Please speak to Dulcie for more information.

Thank you for helping us keep Barbican Theatre Youth a vibrant and welcoming space for every young person who wants to explore their creativity.
