Youth Devising Residency (YDR)

The H2M Youth Devising Residency (YDR) offers young adults (ages 14-18) in the greater Portland Area education and mentorship via a yearlong residency. Students are selected from an open call to area public schools and through our community partners and are employed as young professionals to work alongside professional artists, directors, designers, technicians, to explore collective themes and ideas. Then, using H2M’s devising theatre techniques, these youth artists collaborate to produce and perform an original performance born from their own unique ideas and experiences of the world in which they live.
