This time last month we were making finishing touches to our Summer Space To Create piece 'No Man's Land' at National Theatre!

24/04/2017

On Friday we took our show US AND THEM to Harlow College with Performing Arts at Luton Sixth Form College. Full house, inspirational post show Q&A and these young people nailed it.

31/03/2017

In January we began a 3 month project with a group of young people at Performing Arts at Luton Sixth Form College. Together we made a show about community cohesion and combating radicalisation. We called it 'Us and Them' and we filled it with original music, personal testimonies and heart. Last night the show finished it's run at the college and what an amazing journey it's been. To say that we're proud of this group of young people is an understatement.
