Summer: a concept you may remember from last year. Difficult to imagine its return, of course, but if you’re a young person interested in taking part in the Scottish Youth Theatre’s Summer Festival, then you’d better get your skates on as the deadline for applications is fast approaching.
The Summer Festival aims to introduce young people aged 12-25 to the inner workings of theatre and production through a range of practical courses. The team will be roaming all over Scotland for six weeks auditioning young hopefuls in preparation for places on the courses which
run in the school holidays.
The foundation courses, which last two weeks, are being held in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Moffat and Portree. These courses are designed to give participants a skills base and a taste of what they could experience if they got involved in a full production. The audition process is designed to be as painless as possible, taking the shape of a drama workshop. The chosen actors will devise their own piece for final performance.
The next step up is the five week Performance and Production course, held in Glasgow. This project is for people aged 16-21 who might be thinking about a career in theatre. The theme is Hans Christian Andersen to celebrate the 200th anniversary of his birth, so at the end of the course those taking part will perform The Snow Queen, The Ugly Duckling and The Little Match Girl. The audition is more formal; participants are expected to perform a prepared piece and song, and then take part in a
drama workshop.
And finally, there’s an advanced Musical Theatre Course based at the King's Theatre in Edinburgh for those aged 16—25. Participants will have just two weeks to work with music theatre professionals to stage a new piece of musical theatre for a paying audience.
Scottish Youth Theatre Chief Executive Mary McCluskey says those taking part should expect to work jolly hard but have a blast doing so: ‘Our Summer Festival is a great leveller. Young people come from all over Scotland to work together on the courses, and they have to work hard. They meet kindred spirits and so they make life-long friends, and that’s just as important as the theatre skills they gain.‘ (Morag Bruce)
