Tantrum Theatre’s mission is to create innovative arts programs that engage, celebrate and support young people’s development, identities and interests.

Tantrum provides opportunities for young people aged 5 to 30 to gain skills and opportunities in the creation of contemporary performance through weekly workshops with emerging and professional artists. Tantrum offers young people the opportunity to gain experience and skills through skills-based learning and mentorship.

Tantrum nurtures young artists by providing opportunities for growth, risk taking and excellence through performance based training and activities in Newcastle, while linking these young artists with innovative arts programming with local and national arts organisations.
