Abstract: Theatre confidence as a principle is not particular to any one group of young people, or theatre-going context, and the repeated appearance of theatre confidence as a catalyst for ‘successful’ attendance warrants further attention. This chapter proposes to explore the qualities and characteristics of theatre confidence, and the multiple ways in which it manifests itself in different social, educational and cultural contexts. In order to further understand the usefulness of the concept to sustained, independent theatre going, we consider the question of how theatre confidence is generated and built. Drawing on the TheatreSpace research, we identify and discuss a set of possible building blocks for theatre confidence.
