“The reason why I love Beyond Face Youth Company is because it is a place where I can express my love for acting, music and dance, and feel comfortable and am not judged.” – Emmanuel, Youth Company Member.

Shakespeare is the New Rap

Performance date:, Sunday 8th July 2018, Poltimore House, TYPIFY
A Good Neighbour
Invited by the Atlantic Project to respond to the theme of ‘a good neighbour’, Beyond Face has initiated a series of performances exploring the idea of ‘home’ and neighbourly relations in Plymouth. The performances of short monologues will take place at the B-bar on the Barbican. This event will also be accompanied by a discussion investigating some of the challenges of co-existence in Plymouth today and how important images can be in changing people’s perceptions both positively and negatively. Supported by Plymouth Culture and the Horizons Project.
Performance date: Sunday 4th March 2018, B-Bar, Barbican Theatre
Where's Abi?
Beyond Face and Titi Dawudu present a brand new musical Autumn 2017. What stands in our way to succeed and what happens when we don't feel the support around us anymore? Where's Abi? A story about bullying, career aspirations and friendships.
This production has been developed in partnership with Plymouth Music Zone
Performance dates: 1st-2nd December 2017, Barbican Theatre
