ABOUT US
Man Made aims to inspire young males* aged 12-24 from across Midlands through high quality performance (Dance/Theatre) training, masterclasses, workshops and performance opportunities by empowering young males to search their own personal identity through the intersection of social, cultural and political issues that are addressed in a safe space.
Man Made Youth’s offer is free to participants to remove any socio–economical barriers to engagement and participation.
Man Made Youth was incepted in 2013 by Jerrel Jackson & Johnny Autin under the support of Daniel Whitehouse.
Man Made Youth is managed under the executive direction of Creative Academies Network.
*anyone who considers themselves as male and is most comfortable referring to their personal gender in masculine terms.
OUR GOAL
Our goal is to enhance young male arts provision in the Midlands to cultivate and showcase creative potential.
OUR Approach
