A five-week theatre experience with care experienced children and young people from KTS Academy in Redcar and Cleveland

Blue Cabin associate artist, Pady O’Connor brought Worlds of Curiosity and Play by Mee Mee Theatre to Redcar and Cleveland in autumn 2025.

Seven care experienced, secondary-aged children and young people from KTS Academy, which provides specialist education provision for pupils with a learning difficulty or disability, took part in the project over five weeks.

  • Build meaningful relationships with each other and with the adults in their lives
  • Play, connect and experience joy together
