Following Company of Angels' very successful collaboration with Drama Centre London and Soho Theatre over the past two years, the third Young Directors Programme to took place from March - May 2008.
How it works:
3 young directors, 3 Soho young writers and 12 final year Drama Centre acting students worked together to create three 20/30-minute pieces aimed at children. The nature and format of the work was based on the ideas of the individual creative team, developed collaboratively over a two month period.
Each of the three groups was provided with a company of actors, a rehearsal space, a small production budget, a two-month development period, a mentor, a prominent central London space to showcase their work - and an audience.
The programme was led by John Retallack (Company of Angels) and Annie Tyson, (Drama Centre London) with the support of Suzanne Gorman (Soho Theatre).
The final showcases took place at Soho Theatre Studio on May 23 at 11.30am and 3pm.
