Rutherford College
Region: Auckland
Art form: Theatre
Project name: Igniting Theatre
Project information: A chance to ignite passion, to create authentic responses and to engage in text critically to produce theatre. This will open up the opportunity for rangatahi to further develop their theatre techniques with new tools. The creative process would be a stimulating learning experience for rangatahi. It is also a chance for them to give back to the community and make stronger connections.
The focus of this project is to experience new and exciting ways to create material for a devised piece. It will engage students using text as a stimulus to create an authentic response towards devising a performance. It would also engage students to think critically about their own work and provide the opportunity to work with a professional company; giving students the opportunity to be guided through this process, and enabling them to tell their stories.
Project starting: May 2021
