Theatre in the Quarter's youth theatre programmes begin new projects
Click for full details...
Quartz is properly back up and running now, in full swing and embarking on an exciting ambitious new project. And there are a few developments I want to share with you all.
Tuesday just gone at Chester Blue Coat School we had the first workshop of this term of Quartz - Theatre in the Quarter’s Youth Theatre group for ages 14-20. We were very excited to be welcoming two practitioners from Liverpool based theatre company Tmesis to lead a workshop on physical storytelling.
Last Tuesday was the culmination of this term’s Quartz - we performed Sinister Stories to a packed, if somewhat soggy, crowd at the Garden Lane Methodist Church.
We described it as a collage of work to showcase the skills practiced this term. And these young actors did not disappoint.
This week in Quartz, as well as developing work from previous weeks and adding new dimensions with some vocal work and singing, I challenged these actors to become writers too.
Last Tuesday evening was the first session of this term’s Quartz - Theatre in the Quarter’s Young People’s company established and nurtured from the outset under the careful eye of Steph Green and Matt Baker. This term will be run by myself (Michael Beigel) and Francis Tucker and it’s fair to say beforehand we were nervous.
