What Use Is ANY Generation?
Bringing together a cast of teenagers, older people and everyone in-between, WHAT USE IS ‘ANY’ GENERATION? explored the perceptions, prejudices and experiences each generation had of the other. Using theatre styles such as clowning, music, mask and film. Members of the cast also performed highlights of the show at Guilfest09.
It Must Be Love
SAVVY once again spent the summer working with the ALL STARS drama group (for adults with learning disabilities) to create a unique showcase performance. With movement styles from the 1930’s to the 1970’s disco era and with emotions from the thrill of falling in love to the despair of being dumped this show was devised by the group and performed at the Croydon Clocktower on Wednesday, 15th July 2009.
The Golden Door
By David Ashton
This unique production had the Young Company exploring theatrical skills such as music-making, puppetry, stage combat and physical theatre and took place thanks to a grant from Sutton's Youth Opportunity Fund.
The Giant Puppet Project
On Sunday, 8th June 2008, members from the ALL STARS drama group (for adults with learning disabilities), supported by SAVVY Young Company members, began working with Di Jones, a visual artist from EMERGENCY EXIT ARTS on the creation of a giant puppet. At the end of the 6 weeks, the project was completed and the puppet developed by the group then formed a vital part of their OUTDOOR SUMMER STORIES promenade event, held on Sunday, 20th July at the AWS Leisure Gardens in Croydon.
