Ying-Yung Theatre

The Ying-Yung Theatre was established in 2000, with a primary aim to develop self discipline and artistic skills in young actors and adults with learning disabilities. 

The aim of the productions is to encourage the cast to develop skills of self awareness and inner discipline.  Through improvisation, the plays will make modern statements; explore the way that teenagers view the world and their contribution to it.  These skills and awareness will help them investigate key issues associated with relationships, responsibility, and self evaluation, whilst also allowing the teenagers to address frustrations, fears and injustices that accompany adolescence.

The mixed group of actors encourages dedication and a community wide participation of parents, friends and volunteers all contribute to the enrichment of the wider community.

Participation in productions develops numerous skills in the individual and as a group.  Individual skills acquired and developed would be self confidence, language development, self expression and awareness.  Community participations and group skills would also be of benefit to the actors and the wider community.
