Youth Work
Since its inception, the Cockpit has been used as a venue for working with young people. Until 2011 it was used as a training venue for the City of Westminster College's performing arts, theatre lighting, sound engineering and media students, along with regularly visiting students from Ball State University and young people from The Prince's Trust. The Cockpit hosts regular training opportunities in technical theatre skills such as rigging and pyrotechnics, and is popular with drama schools and youth groups. It also hosts the National Youth Jazz Orchestra's weekend rehearsals every Saturday and DreamArts every term-time Sunday.
