We were delighted to be invited to do some bespoke workshops for the Kildare Youth Theatre / Crooked House Company (in Ireland) on their Dréimire project. This is a superb initiative, run by amazing Artistic Director Peter Hussey, within an incredible organisation, providing and supporting actor training for disadvantaged young actors.
I was joined by Charlie Archer (a founding member and Associate Artist of S/H) for these workshops - and we were both extremely impressed by the standard of the students' works as well as their enthusiasm and passion for the subject they wanted to make their careers.
Many of the participants have now secured places in further drama school training programmes - and we are excited to have plans to collaborate further with Crooked House later in the year - as part of a verbatim project with refugees and young men dealing with living in isolated circumstances.
