Two new scratch shows created by C3 members aged 12-16:

The Competition

This is a competition. 15 players will compete for their chance to speak.

A group of teenagers want to tell you something, but not everyone can be heard. Dice will roll, coins will flip and arms will wrestle in this race against the clock.

Who will win? Who will lose? And who will break the rules first?

Roar

I know there’s a lot to be angry about right now. But when am I allowed to feel it?

A group of teenagers undertake an experiment to dissect anger.

What is it. What it does. How it feels. Where to put it. How to wear it.

Director
Kane Husbands

Facilitator

Tuesday 7 April, 7pm

C3 Scratch Night

New scratch solo work by Company Three’s oldest members (and some special guests).

Working with the director Nicholai La Barrie, C3 members have been talking about their passions, the art that excites them and the kind of artists they see themselves as. Using music, spoken word and movement, these new embryonic solo shows explore memory, gratitude and exploring the multiverse.

Featuring pieces by former C3 members and an exclusive sharing of a new scratch film: Aunty.

Everything

Second Draft Production: 9-11 January 2020, Platform Islington
Originally performed as The Best Day Ever! (a play about the end of the world), April 2019, Pleasance Theatre

This is a time capsule.
It is an attempt to capture who we are.
We’re making it so we can be remembered exactly as we are right now.
Because right now might be the best it ever gets.

A group of teenagers try to preserve who they are right now, a few years before the end of the world.

EVERYTHING is a work in progress created by 17 teenagers aged 14-18 and the directors of Company Three's five-star Brainstorm (Park Theatre, National Theatre and BBC iPlayer).

We are creating this play through a series of draft productions. Previously performed as The Best Day Ever! at the Pleasance Theatre in April 2019, EVERYTHING explores who we are, how we’re connected and how we might save ourselves for an uncertain future.

CREATED AND PERFORMED BY Nicima Abdi, Kezia Adewale, Isobel Burrows, Inaayat Chowdhury, Cherie Duah, James-Leon Gallacher, Shyhiem Hossain Heath, Kye Howard, Jack Hughes, Renee Jean-Charles, Jaekwan Hunte-Jarrett, Alannah Makoni, Jake Monib, Aaliyah Murrian, Abigail Phillips-Douglas, Bailey Smith & Kadiesat Turay

Audience feedback

Lucky enough tonight to see Everything @company_three a remarkable theatrical act of optimism by a bunch of funny, fearless and utterly engaging teenagers making a time capsule of who they are at this exact moment in time. Technically impressive use of live video; full of heart.

Absolutely adored seeing Everything by @company_three @nedglasier tonight with @EmmaLReeder. As a young person who makes theatre, it hit me so hard, I cried . We need to listen to young people, support our work, our talent, our voices! Huge respect and applause to @company_three

If you work with young people if you don't work with young people if you know a young person if you have SPOTTED one in the urban jungle then go and watch @company_three's most recent show 'Everything'. So fresh, so insightful, so playful and perceptive. What an awesome bunch.

Aunty

14 July, Black Cultural Archives | October/November 2017, Tour of Islington venues & Camden People's Theatre as part of The Shape of Things to Come

A new play exploring the relationships between black girls and older black women, made and performed by teenage girls from Company Three and the director Maa-Yarkor Addo.

This fun, brave and loving play is our attempt to unpick what ‘Aunty’ really means. To find her in all her complexities and truths. To have the conversations we never have.

Aunty is being developed through scratch performances to audiences of older black women in Islington and beyond.

Created and performed by Aaliyah Murrian, Cherie Duah, Kadiesat Turay, Shadanay McKoy, Angel Oridota, with Itricia Byer and Elizabeth Uter

Created with Gracia Kayindo, Kiki Bowen and Syntyche Tongomo.
