Youth Development
The Drillaz Circus School programme has been in operation since 2012, and now works with more than 800 local children each year, aged 2-18. Working alongside our professional tutors, the Drillaz participants report increased confidence, social skills and aspirations. Our aim is to secure the future of this programme and expand activities going forward. The Circus School is a vital part of a much-needed wider programme of neighbourhood and town regeneration work and community activities. Out There Arts offer to help address issues such as health and wellbeing, poverty, education, engagement, inclusion, social cohesion, welfare and access to the arts for all.

Pages of The Sea
In 2018, Out There Arts was commissioned to take part in the Pages of the Sea Armistice event. Working together with various partners and artists across the UK and Ireland the project produced a unique event gathering communities on 32 beaches to say a collective thank you and goodbye to the millions who left the shores in the First World War. Coordinating the project on Gorleston Beach, with the local community, 100s of silhouettes and artworks were stenciled in the sand, timed to be washed away by the rising tide.
