WHAT WE DO
We are passionate about the creative arts and know that,
when used well, they have the power to change and enrich lives.
WHY WE EXIST
[Weltschmerz (noun - German): a feeling of melancholy and world-weariness... literally translated 'world-pain']
Our society has become increasingly divided in recent years - making us prone to be more competitive, argumentative and disconnected from one another. This disconnection has a negative effect on wellbeing and so we're seeing loneliness and mental health conditions on the rise. The wellbeing of individuals, communities and our society depends on the ability and willingness of all of us to treat one another well in positive relationships.

Positive relationships between people is of fundamental importance in our world
We work with children and young people - with the aim of contributing to shaping future generations to become a society where everyone is motivated, engaged and able to bring their unique abilities to help make the world a little bit better...
HOW WE DO THIS
We use drama and theatre as our primary tools for change. We're passionate about the arts and know that they, used well, have the power to transform society and to change and enrich lives, to envisage new ways of thinking and being, to share and show our potential as human beings.

LATEST NEWS...
We have two new young people's shows coming up over the next few weeks...

HUGGING DOGS When: 25th - 27th June 2019 Where: Collingwood School & Media Arts College What: Part of our Future Ready programme, in partnership with Collingwood School This is a show about happiness; how we spend our lives looking for it, when often it was right in front of us all the time. It is in the small things, the relationships, the missed opportunities, and we need to spot it and be present with it while it’s there, rather than believing it is some holy grail that we need to seek. |

When: Saturday 13th July, 14:00 & 19:00 Where: Fuse Media Centre, Prudhoe What: Improvised performance event by the young people from our Mortal Fools Youth Theatre, as part of Great Northumberland. FREE EVENT - BOOK TICKETS |
|
For 10 weeks, these young performers have been developing the relevant skills and techniques needed to improvise in front of a live audience. They'll be taking to the stage in this exciting theatrical event, featuring games and exercises that will be influenced by suggestions from the audience.
All performances will be completely made up on the spot so there's no way of knowing what will happen. The only thing that is guaranteed is there will be moments of surprise, moments of hilarity, and (we're pretty sure) moments of pure and unadulterated nonsense!
