Bromyard Conquest Senior Youth Theatre have been working closely with Strong Young Minds, Herefordshire Carers and Mind to research, devise and write Spectrum which will be performed at The Courtyard on Thursday, July 30.
Spectrum follows a group of teenagers and the ways in which they deal with the pressures of the modern world. On 24 May, the Bromyard Seniors led a drama workshop for Herefordshire Young Carers, the Champions of Strong Young Minds and members of The Courtyard Youth Theatre in preparation for the performance.
The workshop consisted of drama games and team building exercises to promote confidence, build friendships and above all, to have fun. In turn, the seniors have developed authentic characters that echo the struggles that many young people face. The preparation has been vital to ensure that stories are communicated effectively and sincerely within the performance.
The performance seeks to provoke, challenge and inspire audiences across the country by addressing taboo issues surrounding young people.
Spectrum will be in The Courtyard’s Studio Theatre on Monday, July 30 at 7pm. To book, call the box office on 01432 340555 or visit courtyard.org.uk.
