26 - 31 July 2010 BOOKING NOW OPEN
JOIN US FOR OUR FOURTH, AND BIGGEST, SUMMER SCHOOL YET.
This year, Northern Stage turns 40 and we are celebrating with an exciting and ambitious programme of work that looks at notions of North, northernness and northerly connections. So get ready for the 2010 summer school!
For this one week only, the entire theatre is opened up to young people aged between 11 and 20, 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.
The last three Summer Schools have been a huge success and demand has exceeded the 50 places we can offer. This year, to give as many young people as possible access we have decided to assign half of the places to new participants. All places will still be allocated on a first come, first served basis, so previous summer schoolers and new participants alike, you need to be quick to get your form in as places are limited!
