Art Breakers
Created 2018
Back to participationArt Breakers is an out-of-the-ordinary performance group for young people in Sheffield, run in partnership with Theatre Deli Sheffield. Art Breakers is open to all young people aged 11-15. Absolutely all you need to be an Art Breaker is energy, openness, and a taste for new ideas.
Art Breakers is grown from Forced Entertainment’s longstanding and acclaimed practice of experimentation and Theatre Deli’s focus on pushing the boundaries of traditional theatre. It is a space and place for breaking the rules and inventing new work. We think of Art Breakers as a kind of ‘lab’ for testing, discovering and making a brilliant mess – to build a wide and varied set of ideas about what art can be and how it can be played with.
“Every time I turn up at the theatre I get butterflies with excitement to see what we are going to do next”
— Art Breaker, aged 15
