Back to Bare Bones

Four of our Work in Progress performers were at Bare Bones at the Old Red Lion last night, performing Time, Please by Joy Wilkinson, a play first written for our Embryonic project earlier this month.

Ehireme Omoaka, Rochelle Rose, Esther Uwejeyah and Daniel O'Keefe, who also co-directed the piece alongside Ned Glasier, performed alongside professional actors in plays by Mike Miller, Charlie Hughes D'eath and others.

Time, Please is a ten minute play that imagines how falling in love would feel if we only had seconds to do it - and then if we had unlimited time.  It was very well received by the audience and a great opportunity for our young people to get on stage in a professional fringe venue.

One of our newest projects, the Highbury Oracle Project, will present their first ever showing of work on Thursday 8th and Saturday 10th July at Highbury Grove School.

Over the last 9 weeks, 26 young people aged 9-12 have been working with ICT's Associate Director Anne Tipton to create a brand new piece of theatre about the journeys we take and how safe we feel on them. 

A to B and in between has been commissioned by Cambridge Education @ Islington to explore ideas of personal safety amongst young people in Islington and the process has included regular workshop visits to 6 Highbury Primary schools.   The final piece uses movement, projection and shadow puppetry.

 If you're interested in coming along to a showing, please contact us.

We've finally confirmed all the details for our teensy festival of new plays created by three of our young companies.

The Oracle Project, Islington Youth Theatre and Work in Progress will all be performing in TANGLED, which takes place on 1st and 3rd July at the Pleasance Theatre.
