Big Telly launch Youth Theatre in Portstewart

Following the success of Theatre Out There last summer, Big Telly is launching two youth drama courses on Saturday 26th February for 6 weeks in Portstewart. No audition is required just enthusiasm and a willingness to participate.

For young people it’s an opportunity to meet like minded others, learn new skills and improve self-confidence, self image and self esteem in a safe environment whilst making friends and having fun!

There are two courses are on offer:
The first for upper primary children (years 5, 6 & 7) will focus on warm up games, creative play, story-telling, physical theatre and improvisation. The course will encourage personal development through skills such as improved communication, teamwork, leadership and delegation in a creative and fun environment. Time: 10.00am – 11.45am

The second (years 8, 9 & 10) will focus on developing confidence and expertise in a range of techniques such as improvisation, physical theatre, image theatre, story-telling and mime. It will also explore ways of creating a piece of theatre using music, imagery, text and your own imagination to stimulate ideas. Time: 12.15pm -2.00pm

The 6 week course fee is £25 payable in advance. Booking is now open and for further information or to book a place on either course please contact Big Telly on 028 7083 1782.

Theatre Out There

THEATRE OUT THERE is a site-specific drama project which takes place over a five week period from 19th July – 21st August 2010. The project is divided into three modules, with each one culminating in a series of performances in a unique location.

Site-specific is theatre which takes place in unusual locations, and which tells a story inspired by that location. It will be a very different audience experience – audiences may go on a journey as part of the performance, or be part of a very small audience at a short piece which is repeated several times.

Theatre in Cars
Young people create a series of small-scale pieces which will be staged in stationary cars.

Theatre in the Dark
Young people create a performance piece which takes place in a darkened space, using heightened sensory awareness to create a unique theatrical experience.

Theatre Outdoors
Young people create an outdoor show, involving elements of promenade performance. These performances will be a series of extracts, some of which may be devised, and some of which will be based on existing texts.
