Are you curious about performance? Passionate about the environment? Do you want a safe space to develop your skills with like-minded people? 

Join the New Creatives!

The New Creatives is a free programme for young people in Peterborough, aged 14-24, who want to create exciting events and projects with professional artists.

We meet weekly from October to May, working together to create exciting projects that tackle local environmental issues. It's a fun, supportive space to build your skills, share ideas, and make real change through art, performance, and more.

If you have any questions please get in touch with Jen - jen@jumpeduptheatre.com
