Youth Theatre
I am currently co-director, with the brilliant David Gilbert, for Southwark Playhouse 14-18 group
During 2020 I also ran online Easter and Summer programmes for children age 8-11 with Tramshed
My past experience spans a wide range of engagement levels and contexts:
-
Working with small groups of young people on script writing and devising skills
-
Smaller scale shows with 20 young people that tour to different venues and mini festivals in London
-
Large-scale ensemble productions of 250
-
Delivery of movement and physical theatre workshops
-
Public speaking training
-
Working in schools, community centres and theatres.
-
Working with a wide range of ages from 5 years old to 25 years old
-
Often working with devising from scratch and new-writing
-
Projects that have both a focus on theatre-making and social skill development
-
Engaging with a youth-led process where young people take a greater ownership over their process
I harness the process as much as the product when working with young people- evoking a sense of joy and a feeling of growth and achievement from participating in brave and ambitious work.
