Dramatic Momentum Information

Imagine if 5,000 young people in London each year thought more positively about themselves and their professional futures, and had the vital employability skills needed to succeed at work. What would be possible? How would that impact the world? Dramatic Momentum aims to empower young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to be confident in themselves and their professional future. We exist to help young people creatively explore their authentic self without social, economic or academic limitations. From creative employability skills workshops, to original theatre for social change, we use creativity as a tool for personal development. We use tools and techniques from the world of theatre and performing arts to creatively engage and equip young people with vital employability skills, develop their emotional capabilities and develop positive attitudes to education, employment and training. We believe that our creative and interactive approach to employability skills creates real behavioural change, and embeds learning for participants, so that they can instantly apply what they have learnt to real life the moment they step out of one of our workshops. Don’t just take our work for it, here is what a young person has said about one of our programmes. “I have learnt to think positively about myself and show my feelings and emotions with colour. […] the skills I have learnt have helped me to keep a positive outlook for the future.The programme has changed my life and I’m sure it will do the same for others”. Youth offender, Male, Age 17. Participant on the Limitless Programme, London Borough of Tower Hamlets. 2016 We want to bridge the gap between young people who have access to professional opportunity and those who do not.
