SUMMARY:Three Up
DESCRIPTION:Young People’s Theatre (YPT)\, Britain’s Action Transport Theatre (ATT) and the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) are thrilled to partner together on Three Up\, a new international program for young writers aged 13-17. Four young people from the GTA with a passion for writing and interest in building their skills have been selected to be part of this five-month international collaboration.

SUMMARY:Artist Residency
DESCRIPTION:YPT is working in partnership with the SickKids Family Programs team to design The YPT Reading Room Residency\, a series of weekly workshops focused on creative play for children from 0-6 years of age. This artist residency will consist of 45-minute sessions delivered weekly. Led by an YPT Resident Artist Educator\, each YPT Reading Room Residency session will explore a particular theme through reading\, dramatization\, song and craft making. The premise of each session will align with the hospital-wide themes set by the Family Programming staff. The YPT Reading Room Residency will seek to enhance and integrate learning and literacy among young children by using drama and play as a source for creativity\, emotional expression and sensory stimulation. \nThe Reading Room program at SickKids is a daily drop-in program for children from 0-6 years of age in the Family Centre hosted by a resident therapeutic clown. The program is accessible to all children in the hospital including siblings of patients receiving treatment. Every session of the Reading Room is broadcast live on the hospitals closed circuit system allowing any child to watch and participate wherever they are in the hospital and regardless of their physical health or ability. \nTo read more about The Family Centre at SickKids read here: http://www.sickkids.ca/ProgramsandServices/centre-for-innovation-and-excellence/Family-Centre/index.html
