Participation

"The children were blown away by the scale of the event they had helped create."

Juice Festival, Monsters Parade

Making theatre with children, young people and community groups is at the heart of what we do. Our projects spark creativity, tell untold stories and nurture talent.

Our participation projects have ranged from large-scale family events such as Juice Festival Monsters Parade, to student theatre such as Strange Voyage, to creative residencies in primary schools and one-off drama workshops.

Every show we make sits within a programme of participation work. For example, as part of the creative process of making Best in the World we worked with young people at pupil referral units in Sunderland. We wanted to find out what being best in the world meant to them. Watch this video interview with Annie Rigby and singer, Beccy Owen, talking about what happened.
