Using newspapers, magazines and blogs, young people will work with Leaveners and Birmingham Repertory Theatre to devise an original theatre piece about current issues. Acting as investigative journalists, young people will develop performance skills to create a play based on the performers' ideas, opinions and interests. The week will end in a sharing of the play to an invited audience.
Transformative element:
Young people will start to think critically about media messages; they will gain skills to express and communicate different viewpoints.
