We’ve had an incredible time working with this talented group of young performers, alongside the brilliant The Knotted Project Theatre Company and Tiiva Music , who led these workshops. Together, we explored physical theatre to develop a short piece examining how news cycles affect us—and imagining how we might shape change in the future.

The group also experimented with sound effects and music to enhance atmosphere, pacing, and immersion, adding new dimensions to the performance.

This Friday afternoon, we’ll share this exploratory work-in-progress with the performers' families and friends—wish us luck! Huge congratulations to this creative and dedicated group of emerging performers for their courage and hard work!
