We've been on the move. The Vital Spaces Company has gained a few helpers - in the form of Amanda Plumridge, Emma Payne, Rebecca Rich and Oliver O'Neil. As the facilitators for the Devon Youth Theatre this year, they've joined the familiar faces of Josh Burnell and Matt Pocock to deliver an outstanding series of Devon-wide Regional workshops, which is currently reaching over 100 young people. Travelling around in Mandy's van, we've been to Tiverton High School, Coombeshead College in Newton Abbot, Kings School in Ottery St Mary, and this Saturday to Matthews Hall in Exeter.
Next week will see a series of in-schools workshops, and then it all will culminate in a Showcase event at the University of Exeter on the 5th of March.
Imagine: postcards suspended from the ceiling.
TV monitors playing footage of rehearsals.
Three huge drama studios full of secondary students.
A team of 1st year undergraduates.
Six very talented facilitators.
This Devon Youth Theatre thing is pretty amazing.
