PROJECT
Speech Bubbles, Trinity Theatre
PURPOSE
Using drama to develop confidence and communication
FUNDING
The programme costs £3,000 per school to deliver and is funded by Kent County Council, The Arts Society and The Brook Trust
BACKGROUND
Increasing numbers of children are starting school life with communication difficulties. In 2009, London Bubble Theatre Company developed Speech Bubbles, a weekly drama programme designed to give young children an opportunity to have fun telling stories and acting them out. In September 2021, Speech Bubbles became an independent charity.
Trinity Theatre in Tunbridge Wells, an arts hub focused on engaging the wider community in shared artistic experiences, has been delivering Speech Bubbles for five years, covering west Kent. Other organisations are delivering the programme in London and Manchester, including North West Drama and east London’s Half Moon Theatre.
