Avant Cymru | Artistic activities

Avant Cymru is a collective of artists who work in the Valleys of South Wales producing theatre and hip-hop theatre with young people. They also seek to provide professional pathways and local opportunities for young people to enter the arts as a career. They had two projects for people with mental health: 1) break dance and hip-hop theatre where their focus on hip hop theatre for young people has grown organically as young people have seen what they do and approached them wanting to get involved and 2)theatre and supporting young writers: Shakespeare on the Mountain Top. Their work grew out of the requests of young people and in response to them wanting to improve their health
and well-being.
