Mortal Fools Youth Theatre
|
|
We run weekly and intensive youth theatre sessions with young people aged 7-19 in Northumberland.
In Mortal Fools Youth Theatre, young people work as co-creators with professional theatre artists to produce high-quality, full-scale productions which explore contemporary topics and the realities of the world we’re living in right now. Our youth theatre productions take place in Northumberland, and tour to professional and community venues across the North of England. |
In Schools
|
We have a suite of projects that are delivered in school and educational settings:
MELVA: a schools' package for 7-11 year olds which uses a theatre production about anxiety and worries to improve children’s understanding and personal practices for good mental and emotional health. FUTURE READY: a theatre-making project developed in partnership with Collingwood School and Media Arts College, designed to support SEND students develop skills and confidence, to prepare them for the transition from education into adult life. Unlocking Potential: Using drama to bring class topics to life. The project is designed to build confidence, social skills and aspirations of children living in deprived areas of the North East, and in doing so help build their attainment in literacy. Teacher CPD: We provide tailored Teacher CPD for a range of schools across the North-East focusing on areas such as trust and resilience, leadership, and creative teaching. Other School Projects: We also run one-off, ad-hoc drama projects in a selection of Northumberland schools. |
