Arts Award
TramShed Theatre Company has been named as a Trinity Champion Centre 2024/25 for our successful delivery of Arts Award in Inclusive Performing Arts
Trinity College London is a leading international exam board and independent education charity that specialises in the assessment of communicative and performance skills covering music, drama, combined arts and English language.
Trinity Champion Centres inspire other organisations by sharing their practice and advocating for accreditation in their communities and more widely.
Arts Award is…
…a range of unique qualifications that supports anyone aged 11-25 (12+ for Gold) to grow as artists and arts leaders, inspiring them to connect with and take part in the wider arts world through taking challenges in an art form – from fashion to digital art, pottery to poetry. TramShed focus our Arts Award on inclusive theatre practice.
Offered at three different levels, young people get to:
• discover the enjoyment of creating and participating in any art form
• develop their creativity and leadership skills
• learn new skills and share them with others
• get to work with or experience working with creative arts professionals
• gain experience and knowledge to progress into further education and employment
To achieve their Arts Award, young people take on challenges in an art form, participate in arts activities, experience arts events, get inspired by artists and share their arts skills with others. Young people create a portfolio to keep a record of their creative journey. Along the way they are supported by an Arts Award adviser, acting as assessor, facilitator and mentor. TramShed’s Arts Award Advisor is Emma Rucastle.
