About
“Don’t let anyone’s perception of the ability of any young person come between your instincts for an authentic creative encounter. The unforeseen will always be the best thing about that encounter.”
Founded in 1997,
Kids In Control provides bespoke learner-led programmes that are focused on long-term benefits. We deliver programmes for young people of all abilities and backgrounds in diverse community settings, including schools and youth centres, as well as multiple annual in-house projects.
As many of our participants stay with us for a long time and sometimes join our team, we also provide:
Bespoke Apprenticeships
Blue Chevy – Adult All-Ability Theatre Ensemble
KIC work is always the sum of the many personal milestones reached by participants who have gone the distance. We make dynamic physical theatre with young people who thrive in having their natural gifts welcomed and celebrated in an environment that is authentically inclusive.
“The detail and rigour of KIC work is most impressive. I am struck, in particular, by the seamless integration of young people with disabilities. As a model of best practice, I have found KIC’s approach to be exemplary.”
“A powerful showcase of the best physical theatre for young people of all abilities on the island of Ireland, thank you KIC and all the young artists for a magnificent and mighty 2018 Spring Showcase.”
