In
2005 SAVVY
Community Projects
began with a series of inclusive
workshops bringing together
people aged from 2 to over 70
years of age!
From
one-off workshops to long-term
projects, SAVVY endeavours to not
only work with a wide range of
local people and groups, but to
create theatre projects in an
array of venues and spaces.
Action
Replay Drama Group
With funding from
Lloyds TSB, support from Sutton
Theatres and in partnership with
Sutton Mencap, this newly formed
group meets at the Secombe
Theatre and brings learning disabled
adults together from across
Sutton and Croydon.
Every
Friday they participate in a
variety of drama activities and
will be performing at a number of
unique showcase events in 2011.
For
information on joining this
group, please contact Olivia on:

The
Wandle Valley Drama Group
Facilitated by Anna
Hussain, this newly formed group
allows pupils at Wandle Valley
School to take part in weekly
drama workshops and theatre
projects.
Aside
from performing locally at the
Charles Cryer studio theatre in a
specially devised piece, a number
of the participants are also
undertaking their Bronze Arts
Awards and will be heading up to
London to see The 39 Steps in the
new year.
The
Bus Stop Schools Project
SAVVY will be embarking
on a seven week residency
throughout Spring, working in
secondary schools across South
Croydon.
Pupils
from each school will spend
weekly sessions using Mask and
Forum Theatre techniques to
explore their own personal
experiences and observations of
travelling on public transport,
in particular how to avoid
potentially dangerous situations
whilst being made aware of how
their own behaviour may affect
others around them.
This
project has been made possible by
the Youth Localities Fund.
