Have Fun From September 2013 to July 2014 all our creative arts courses will be
exploring the theme of Cultural Diversity – Stories for Survival, inspired by and linking with the UNESCO Universal Declaration on cultural diversity. During the coming year all the Pegasus Youth Theatre Groups will create a re-telling of the epic Arabic/Persian/Indian story ‘The Arabian Nights’ that proved such an inspiration to Western writers, artists and poets in the 18th and 19th centuries. We will be seeing how the story relates to Western culture, transcends barriers and opens the door to new understanding. This production will be recreated as a cycle of storytelling by all Pegasus Youth Theatre groups in March 2014. A version will also be performed by Pegasus Youth Theatre Companies during Mesh 2014 - Oxford Youth Arts International in the summer. To take part in these projects, you will need to attend our Registration event on 12 June 2013.

Other amazing
things we do Pegasus has worked with young people for over 50 years and offers
courses, classes, outreach projects and holiday activities to individuals, schools and community groups around Oxfordshire and beyond. Each year we focus on a theme that affects young people locally and globally, that inspires their investigation and reflection and is then shared between them and with the public in a creative way, often in performance. We welcome young people aged from 6 years upwards into courses at Pegasus in drama, dance, music, creative writing and technical theatre, and offer the nationally recognised Bronze level Arts Award. In our outreach and schools programme we provide a range of workshops that support a wide variety of curriculum subjects and bring the arts out of the theatre and into the community. We support hard to reach and vulnerable young people engaging them in positive arts activity through our Added Extra programme. Our training and work experience programmes offer hands on experience and focused learning opportunities for young people and adults. Pegasus works in partnership with other organisations recently including: Oxford University Press, Oxfam, Oxford Inspires, Creative Junction, Oxford Institute of Social Policy, Open Doors, OCVC, Oxford Brookes University.

Double our
money Every donation you make to Pegasus will be DOUBLED at no extra
cost to you. We have been awarded Catalyst Arts Funding which is an Arts Council England Scheme designed to help us attract and enhance donations from you, our valued audience and supporters. Every £ will be doubled To receive this matched funding from The Arts Council we have to raise £100,000 over the next two years. The first target is £20,000 by October 2 2013 - if we do Arts Council England will give us £20,000 so we double our money. Why we need funding 21% of our income raised through earned income e.g. box office, project fees, cafe and 41% through core grants e.g. the Arts Council England, Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford City Council - however we still have to raise over £300,000 per year to make our work possible. The generosity of our donors play a vital role in supporting our ambitious artistic programme and creative learning projects with young people in the local community. You can donate online www.pegasustheatre.org.uk/supportus or by text ‘PEGA22 £3’ to 70070 to donate to Pegasus - change the £amount to whatever you would like to give.
