National Theatre and TikTok Unite to Empower Young Creatives
In an exciting collaboration aimed at nurturing young talent and shedding light on careers in the creative industry, the National Theatre has partnered with TikTok. This partnership, spanning a year, seeks to inspire and enhance the skills of future theatre makers while also broadening career horizons and raising awareness of opportunities in the creative sector.
Combining the National Theatre’s extensive network with young people, schools, and communities nationwide with TikTok’s digital expertise and global reach, this partnership is poised to make a significant impact. Focusing on three key programmes for young individuals—Apprenticeships, National Theatre Collection, and the Young People’s Programme—the collaboration provides comprehensive opportunities for budding talents to hone their practical skills across various theatre roles.
Throughout the year, the partnership will spotlight the National Theatre’s engagement with young people and pathways to creative careers through content featured on the National Theatre’s TikTok channel. From backstage roles to career routes within the sector, this content will showcase the technical prowess behind the scenes, along with guest speakers sharing insights.
To kick off National Apprenticeships Week, content created in collaboration with the National Theatre’s current apprentices will be launched, providing insights into their journeys into the industry.
This partnership reflects both organisations’ dedication to nurturing talent and fostering creativity, with the goal of inspiring the next generation of British talent and forging new pathways into the industry.
