Introducing our new Resident Artists Yael and Stan

We are so excited to welcome Stan and Yael, our two new Resident Artists, to the C3 team.

Our Resident Artists support the delivery of our artist programme, leading core company projects, workshops, affinity groups and satellite projects in schools. We’re lucky enough to welcome two new resident artists each year, to enable us to expand and challenge our own practice, and ensure our young people get to experience working with new artists with different focuses and expertise.

They've performed their work at Soho Theatre, CPT, Riverside Studios, Kingshead Theatre, Glastonbury, JW3, Omnibus Theatre and other venues around the UK. Yael spent six years teaching drama and improv to incarcerated and court-involved young people with Drama Club NYC.
