Second Wave
exists to develop youth-centred theatre and collaborative work created by young artists. We offer regular programmes of performing arts workshops, events, productions, arts training and employment opportunities for young people aged 13-25 years.

We are a registered charity established in 1982, supported by regular funding from Arts Council England.

Recent graduates include Shingai Shoniwa and Dan Smith, from the chart-topping band The Noisettes. Now patrons of Second Wave, they support the company’s campaign to raise awareness of safety issues for young people.

Noisettes

The Noisettes' single, 'Don't Upset The Rhythm' reached No 2 in the charts in 2009. Check out their album, 'Wild Young Hearts'. www.thenoisettes.

"In youth arts you are actively involved in making something as a young artist – not simply learning about the arts. This means seizing opportunities, taking risks and inspiring change."
