The Oracle Project is a key part of Islington Youth Theatre – a chance for young people still at Primary School to get involved in our work – and get used to coming regularly to a secondary school. The first Oracle Project, inspired by the mysterious dream machine in the IYT production of Success by Nick Drake, started at Islington Arts and Media School in January 2009.

There are three Oracle Projects:

The IAMS Oracle Project
Our original project started in January 2009 and currently involves young people from Islington Arts and Media School and its feeder primary schools in Finsbury Park.  Previous productions include the original Oracle Project at Pleasance Theatre in March 2009 and the Yellow Hearted Butterfly Spook Circus as part of the Tangled Festival in 2010.

Directors: Ella Macfadyen, Laura Keefe

The Highbury Oracle Project

The Highbury Oracle began life as an extended creative research project commissioned by Cambridge Education @ Islington.  Its first showing was called A to B and in between in July 2010.

The EGA Oracle Project

Launched with a 3 day intensive pilot project in July 2010, the EGA Oracle Project's first showing was I See Me.  We hope to continue this project as an after school activity from September 2010.
