GAP THEATRE PROJECT - KENNET

You are here! (Where?)

In association with: Kennet School and Thatcham Park Primary, Thatcham, West Berkshire
Directed by: Laura Baggaley         
Assistant director: Mike Longhurst  
Creative specialist: Chris Staines
Dates: June 9 - July 1, 2008   

Following the success of our recent Gap Theatre Project into rural Cambrideshire, Company of Angels has been commissioned to produce Gap Kennet, adapting the model to work with Year 12 students and Year 6 pupils from two schools in Thatcham, West Berkshire.

Forty-seven intrepid primary school leavers and six Year 12 students are embarking on a
perilous journey into uncharted territory. . .

Along the way they face some big questions: how do you navigate when the map hasn’t
been written yet? How do you get directions if you don’t know where you’re going? And
does everything really need a label?

Exploring the theme of transitions through movement, words and a mix of performance
styles, You Are Here! (Where?) is a unique devised piece of theatre performed by a
Gap Company of 11- and 17-year-olds from Thatcham Park Primary and Kennet Schools.

The Gap Theatre Project, created by Leisa Rea and Renata Allen in 2003, is a
peer-mentoring scheme which brings together primary school children, young adults and
creative industry professionals to devise an original piece of theatre.
This is Company of Angels’ fourth Gap Theatre Project.
