WELL DONE TO EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE "TAKE TWO" PROJECT!
The project culminated with the performance of 7 Days at the Arena Theatre, Wolverhampton on Saturday 22nd May 2010.
What a wonderful show! Urban Voice would like to congratulate everyone involved with the performance. We have had nothing but good reviews from the audience! :-)
A big thumbs up to cast, crew, support workers, youth workers, menotrs and anyone who had any part to play in this fantastic event!
For those of you thinking, "Take Two? What's that all about?" Allow us to explain . . .
The performance was the culmination of a three month devising and rehearsal process with young people from Walsall & Telford. The project saw Theatre professionals facilitate workshops that gave the performers the opportunity to create a unique and diverse piece of theatre.
The piece explored issues that the group wanted to talk about. This project gave the performers new experiences, new skills and a voice to be heard . . . .
"One single moment was all that it took
A decision, a choice. our foundations were shook.
A fork in the road, a direction to take
Could this lead to happiness or my biggest mistake?"
A party. A party girl. A suitcase packed ready to go. A closed door. A knife, a crime, a text message - will it get there in time?.
7 days interweaves 4 stories that confront KNIFE CRIME, TEENAGE PREGNANCY, BULLYING & SEX, DRUGS & ROCK 'N' ROLL.
When your 16, a week can feel like a lifetime . . .
