Quest (summer school 2008) from Northern Stage on Vimeo.
Created by Phil Mann

This year, Summer School was all about Quests with the week culminating in a delightfully dark production of four short stories; The Lambton Worm, Dauntless Little Joe, a brand new adaptation of Sleeping Beauty and The Land Where No-one Ever Dies.  To see what this years Summer Schoolers got up to have a look at their blog diary.

At Summer School participants are split in to two groups according to their age: 11-15 and 16-20. For this one week only, the entire theatre is opened up to young people, giving them the chance to make their own show and perform it on our main stage. Alongside sessions on acting and devising theatre, there are lots of opportunities to get involved with the technical, costume, and marketing sides of making theatre.

For any young people who want to get involved but don't fancy acting, we also run a technical strand to the summer school, where participants find out all about lighting, sound and staging working with Northern Stage’s technical team. 

Sponsorship

Northern Stage offers a sponsorship scheme for people with a genuine need who love theatre but would otherwise not be able to afford to attend the summer school.  If you would like to be considered for a sponsorship please indicate this on your application form.  Sponsorships will be confirmed by April.

Information about Summer School 2009 will be coming soon.
