W E L C OME TO THE INTERNATIONAL YOUTH ARTS FESTIVAL 2013 our communities to thrive. Our mission therefore remains to equip any young person who has that idea, that dream, that passion with the skills to take that thought and make it real.

Well here we are, in 2013, hosting the fifth of Creative Youth’s International Youth Arts Festival. I am delighted as the new Festival Director to introduce you to this year’s programme. The festival has grown faster and larger than any of us could have imagined. And we believe the reasons for this are few and simple, a passionate energetic team, the greatest volunteers you’ll ever meet and so so importantly, some of the highest quality arts you could ever wish to see, hear, touch, experience, participate in and enjoy. The mantra in the Creative Youth’s office always being that youth arts should be celebrated, not tolerated, and the mere fact that you are holding this brochure and reading these words, means you are making this mantra a reality – thank you!

It started like any other job, you meet the people involved, you try desperately to look like you know what you’re doing, you make friends and get a sneak peak behind the scenes of one of the most exciting festivals in the country. After what felt like meeting over a thousand people in my first week I started to realise that this was a lot more than just an arts festival, people were stopping me in the street, wishing me luck, telling me how much they cared about the festival – and I better get it right – it was all a bit terrifying. I realised this festival means so much to the community it’s built around, a community of local and international young people, art lovers, families and volunteers.

Creative Youth as a charity is growing too. We are now beginning to see real results and successes through our Creative Talent programme (see page 76) which now mentors 10 young creative companies, with many of them touring nationally, receiving funding, developing highly praised work and creating innovative business models. We are developing exciting partnerships locally and nationally which will see our unique model of youth engagement reaching far wider than we had ever dreamed. In the last 2 years we have worked with over 60 interns and 200 volunteers, many of whom have drawn from our focus on innovation and entrepreneurship and sprang into successful careers in a huge multitude of industries.

At the time of writing we are just under 3 months away and I’m fully immersed in IYAF, never has a job so quickly become something I care about and something that has brought me so much laughter and joy (and this is before the festival!) Sitting here looking at all the great shows scheduled (over 300 in total!) I challenge everyone to go out, buy a festival pass, see as many shows as is humanly possible, check out the free events, sign up to a workshop and explore the animated streets and paths of the town. Make sure to visit ‘The Nest’, our new festival hub in Kingston’s Market House, you’ll be able to buy tickets, chat to volunteers and maybe catch an impromptu performance. At the end of a busy day, swing by the festival bar in the Rose Theatre’s café and soak up the free performances with friends.

At a time when youth unemployment remains frighteningly high (21.9%) and cuts to the arts rage on despite a recent study proving that for every £1 invested in the arts £4 is returned into the economy we are convinced that those with ideas, those with creativity, those with passion, energy and dreams will be the ones that will help

- Jeremy Sachs, Director, International Youth Arts Festival.

Afterglow tells the story of a girl named Hotaru Takegawa, who every summer visits the beautiful Japanese countryside. One day she gets lost in a forest inhabited by mountain spirits. Desperate to find her way out, she meets a mask-wearing, human-like entity named Gin. Happy to be shown the path back home, Hotaru wants to hug Gin, but he tells her that he will disappear forever if he is ever touched by her...

Saturday 13th July @ 7:30pm Sunday 14th July @ 5:00pm Wednesday 17th July @ 7:30pm Tickets: £8 / Duration: 1hour 30mins Suitable for 16+ The Shoestring Players are the theatrical producing entity at the University of South Carolina - Upstate in Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA. Through the production of a diverse array of theatre genres, we shape students into inquisitive and imaginative theatre artists. All About Ives is a collection of short plays that define the world as it appears to playwright David Ives. With playful and creative use of language, comedic absurdity, and the possibility of alternative realities, the audience is swept away into an enchanting, perplexing, intelligent, and absolutely hilarious universe. “Theatre that aerobicizes the brain and tickles the heart...Ives is a mordant comic who has put the play back in playwright” - Time 6

EVE THEATRE AN EVENING OF SPEAKEASY THE ACT MAINHOUSE Monday 22nd July @ 6:30pm (doors open at 5:00pm) Tickets: £8 / Duration: 4hours Suitable for +16 Step into a 1920’s speakeasy for an evening of Cabaret hosted by EVE Theatre Company.

B&N A PLAY TIFFIN STUDIO Thursday 25th July @ 5:30pm Saturday 27th July @ 8:30pm Tickets: £5.00 / Duration: 30mins Suitable for 12+ B&N is a collective of performers and writers, founded by Alisa Nirman, Josh Murchie and Rikke Dall-Hansen. Focusing on philosophical concepts in theatre, B&N produce satirical, engaging and funny new material, usually on the absurd side. A Play is a comedy about making theatre and the creative process. After a performance, actors often find themselves stuck on stage. In their attempt to make sense of the situation and with the help from theatrical stereotypes they encounter on the way, they seem to be creating more boundaries than breaking them. If theatre reflects life, then surely it should have no plot and perhaps, even no meaning?

ROSE YOUTH THEATRE ARABIAN NIGHTS ROSE MAIN HOUSE Saturday 20th July @ 11:00am Monday 22nd July @ 7:00pm Tickets: £5 - £15 / Duration: 1hour 30mins Suitable for 6+ Since 2008, RYT has earned itself a great reputation. Representing some of the best local talent, our young actors are central to life at the Rose. They regularly perform exciting and captivating work on our mainstage and in our studio. In war-torn Arabia, a young woman risks her life to save her town. Each night she must melt the dark heart of her husband with tales from her childhood of a very different Arabia; a magical land of genies, enchanted caves, exotic spices and the searing desert sun. This radical new reworking of Arabian Nights glows with imagination, storytelling and a great cast of young, local actors.

Epitomising energy, dynamism and unrelenting commitment, they live for those magic words: ‘AndOn with the show... Imagine an hour with a box... imagine the possibilities. Two guys, too much mess and a cardboard box. ‘AndOn Theatre present Bits & Box.

Brindsley Miller, a young sculptor, is nervous; in a single evening his future, both professionally and personally will be decided. In order to avoid disaster, Brindsley must impress both a famous art collector and his formidable future father-in-law, the Colonel. An ill-timed power cut at Brindsley’s South Kensington apartment, a gaggle of meddling neighbours and the unexpected arrival of a particularly vibrant former flame, conspire to ruin the most important evening of poor Brindsley’s life! Theatrical conventions are turned upside down in this hidden gem from Peter Shaffer’s repertoire. When the characters can see, the actors perform in darkness, but when the characters struggle to cope with the effects of the power cut, the stage is flooded with light so that the audience can witness the mayhem! As the disasters accumulate and the momentum builds, this one act farce will keep you laughing until the final blow.

Doctor Darkling, a wandering outlaw mesmerist, invites you to defy the laws of the Dreamless State and witness spacetime manipulation, unauthorised dream fabrication and the unveiling of his new creation, the Oscillating Dream-Device. Meanwhile the ever-present Psi-Police are at his heels….

A criminal by the name of Lex and her threating all-female gang The Droogs, take you on a theatrical experience that you’ll never forget. Set sometime in the near future, Lex’s criminal life is turned upsidedown when she is offered a get out of jail card: The Ludovico Technique.

This surreal, quirky show mixes mime, movement and steam fantasy.

The price is losing her freedom of choice: What happens when your love of music turns to nausea; or when self-defence causes selfparalysis? With Oasis Academy’s interesting use of comedic-stylised characters and actors taking on multiple roles, this is not the Clockwork Orange that you would anticipate. 11

CONCATENATE THEATRE COMPANY ERRONEOUS ACT STUDIO Wednesday 24th July @ 5:30pm Friday 26th July @ 5:30pm Tickets: £5 / Duration: 1hour 30mins Suitable for 16+ Concatenate Theatre Company was formed in 2012 in South West London and consists of a group of ten passionate performers with an eye for physical theatre.

CHARLES LEWIS MEYRICK GALACTIC IDIOM; EPISODE VEE RAM JAM CLUB Saturday 20th July @ 9:00pm Saturday 27th July @ 9:00pm Tickets: £5 / Duration: 35mins Suitable for 18 + After graduating from Kent University & the Central School of Speech & Drama, Mr. Meyrick began writing radio comedy, alongside a career in unemployment. He sites Woody Allen & Spike Milligan amongst his influences, although they both vehemently deny this. ‘Galactic Idiom; Episode Vee’ is a live radio comedy and thus relies on no visual cues. Captain Mann and the crew of the S. S. Elridge are on their fifth mission, which promises moments of ill-advised surrealism and anarchy. This abstract yet traditional performance comes via odd voices & crudely executed live sound-effects, courtesy of the talented comedians blackmailed into performing them. After this, television will look two coconuts short of an invisible horse. “You couldn’t pay me to go and see this I mean again” (East Farleigh Gazette) “It cured my rash! But now I miss the rash” (Jean-Paul Satre, speaking from beyond the grave) “What a treat! It had everything, tragedy, laughs, a talking dog; I didn’t think I could get away with watching Netflix during the performance, but no one seemed to mind” 12 (man representing Netflix)

Headcase is a richly visual theatrical duet, sharing the real experiences of a made up, mixed-up teenager as she struggles to come to terms with what’s going on inside her own head. “A very beautiful and moving show” – y Theatre

sitespecific is a new artist led collective formed by Amanda Henriques and Bobi Robson with an objective to bring together artists, charities and communities to produce publicly engaging, site-specific art that is accessible to all.

Maëlle D is a French amateur photographer who is interested in every kind of art, whatever form it takes. If she finally chooses photography it probably because it is her favourite way of relating to the world. This exhibition presents two series, “Exquisite Pain” and “Create Memories”. Both in black and white.

Our projects span a broad spectrum of contemporary visual arts by artists of varying practices. We aim to encourage, develop and celebrate creative activity within public spaces, whilst operating as a platform for talented emerging artists to exhibit within the public domain.

The first one, “Exquisite Pain” is made of digital photographs. It’s a hunt for conscious and unconscious reactions, that we could have when facing pain.

This summer, sitespecific are launching a number of projects that will revitalise underused sites across Kingston’s town centre. These collaborative projects will excite public participation and enliven everyday urban spaces through creative action.

The second exhibition, “Create Memories”, is a project made from film photographs. “I only take samples: parts of a body, specific movements, prints, reflections…or just suggestions of the possibility of life. I am sharing my daily experiences and memories. I hope that others will recognise their own in them and appreciate them, creating their own responses.” - Maëlle D

sitespecific have invited a number of visual artists to exhibit their works as part of a sculpture park to be located in Kingston’s Memorial Gardens. This project aims to transform an underappreciated green space into a site of creative activity. This free exhibition will be open to the public from Wednesday 10th to Wednesday 24th July.

Offering a starting point for participants to make their own site-specific work, this workshop will look at techniques used by Tin Box Theatre in their previous site-specific shows: Stop the Clocks (2011) a promenade piece set in a disused coffin fittings factory, and their current piece for pubs, Pint Dreams. Using an inventive and playful range of devising techniques, the workshop will explore how the site can be used as a stimulus to create performance.

TA L E N T Continuing support: OUR FRIENDS RECORDS Our Friends Records are a Kingston based music promotions company who have been working with IYAF since its inception in 2009. Our support has allowed OFR to receive training and mentorship from internationally renowned festival programmers, Continental Drifts, has assisted in expanding the number of events they run monthly in the borough to 8 per month and has assisted in supporting their business development into new fields such as PA hire in order for them to move towards being a self sufficient organisation. Recently our support has secured a new funding stream which has introduced an unique, new monthly event to the Kingston events calendar, Mosaic, which showcases a diverse range of artforms and allows OFR to collaborate their programming with other Creative Talent companies.

In 2010 Creative Youth launched its CREATIVE TALENT programme, supported by The Foyle Foundation. Over the last three years this programme has continued to expand and now supports 10 young companies. The Creative Talent programme identifies young and emerging artists and organisations who have the potential to become excellent creative practitioners and gives them the artistic, business and strategic support to become flourishing, challenging, exciting organisations of the future. The programme provides year long support as well as developing and mentoring their core skills and products. Importantly Creative Youth works in partnership with sponsors and partners to ensure that these young companies are equipped with key business skills allowing them to turn their visions into commercial ventures ensuring that the arts continue to prosper and be a fundamental part of the future of Britain. Through Creative Talent we are investing in the future of the arts and putting our faith in the young people who will inspire future generations. All of our young companies have agreed that once they have graduated from the programme, they will provide mentorship and support to the next generation of companies.

This year they are once again programming a huge number of events, and importantly training a new generation of young programmers to take over their mantle! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Creative Youth have helped OFR grow in more ways than we could possibly detail. They have introduced us to the most valuable industry contacts we know, helped us

organise and streamline our company, and most importantly, they have been brilliant and fiercely loyal friends.” CIRCUS SUBURBIA Circus Suburbia are a dynamic, young, contemporary circus company providing high quality entertainment at events and festivals as well as circus training, workshops and community engagement. Creative Youth’s support has allowed Circus Suburbia to co-ordinate a community circus show, develop their training and teaching locally and raised funding to allow the research and development of a aerial act which they could continue to tour nationally and generate income for the company. Most recently we have secured funding from the GLA Mayor’s Outer London fund to convert a delivery yard of the new Riverside, Kingston development into a contemporary circus space which Circus Suburbia will take responsibility in programming and animating.

SMOKING APPLES Smoking Apples create inspiring and freeing theatre using a combination of puppetry, physical theatre and live music. Their work is specifically aimed at adults with the intention of engaging their imagination. Creative Youth has supported and encouraged new collaborations in Smoking Apples’ work with other Creative Talent companies, which has expanded their skill sets, produced sell out runs and most recently secured Arts Council England funding for a collaboration to be premiered at IYAF 2013! In the last 6 months Creative Youth has worked in partnership with Fusion Arts and Smoking Apples to refurbish, manage and curate Studio 22, a flexible arts space in the heart of Kingston which is reaping huge benefits for all of our young companies.

This year Circus Suburbia’s youth circus will for the first time perform a full circus show at the Rose Theatre, as well as programming the Circus and Dance stage at Eagle Brewery Wharf every weekend of the festival “Before we met Creative Youth we had plans to grow a small entertainment company, and to teach evening circus classes in Surbiton. This however all changed when Creative Youth began to really push us and challenge us. Creative Talent projects have consistently given us new challenges, be they creatively or logistically, which have given us the confidence and experience to take on challenging work from commercial clients and to progress our own work creatively. The supportive nature of the charity means that we can try new ideas, take risks and find out what works, but most importantly, allows us to give performance opportunities to our

Dumbshow is an ensemble of actors, directors, writers and musicians who come together in various combinations to make theatre with a vibrant physical aesthetic, using live music alongside text to create and tell stories. Creative Youth is currently providing support to Dumbshow for their run during the Edinburgh Festival by assisting with the vast fundraising challenges that lie in any Edinburgh trip! Dumbshow will perform The Pearl in Edinburgh which was developed and premiered at IYAF 2012 through the Artists in Residence programme. Michael Bryher, Artistic Director described Creative Youth’s help as a ‘godsend.’

Little Cauliflower is a Canterbury based company founded in 2010 and are the resident Graduate Theatre Company of the School of Arts at the University of Kent. They aspire to make theatre for all ages that leaves our audience feeling uplifted and entertained. “We love to make things and as such our work often features animated objects, puppets and elaborate sets.” Creative Youth have assisted Little Cauliflower in securing Arts Council England funding and brokered collaborations with other Creative Talent companies.

“We couldn’t have achieved what we have done without them,” he said. “To put trust in a young company to develop their work is so, so important. IYAF took a leap of faith in us, for which we are extremely grateful.”

“Joining forces with Creative Youth has helped us to think about ways in which we can turn our theatre company, our labour of love into a sustainable business. The mentoring and support that Creative Youth offer, enables us to turn our ambitious plans into a reality.”

TANKUS THE HENGE The world of Tankus the Henge is uplifting and wild, dark and heartfelt. A six piece powerhouse of a band drawing visual and musical influences from old time Fairgrounds to modern day Circus; The Beatles to Tom Waits and Gogol Bordello to Radiohead, they embody a look and a sound that lies somewhere between their South East London home and the carnival town of New Orleans. The first band the Creative Talent programme has adopted and we don’t think we’ve ever had so much fun....

Filksit Theatre EDDANCE EDDance is a London-based company of dance artists under the direction of choreographer Edd Mitton who enjoy working in a variety of styles and spaces, but always share a commitment to making work for performance which is beautiful, intelligent and accessible.

“Its wonderful to have the support of Creative Youth. Their experience of management, budgeting and all the ‘behind-the-scenes’ stuff that goes into producing art work is really valuable as a young artist, and our regular meetings and mentoring sessions help keep my process on track. Ultimately, their confidence in me and my work is a real boost.”

“the young people in the group have really benefitted from the experiecne, it was wonderful” — Tania Kenny, Jacksons Lane Youth Theatre

“It was a great, feel-good event which put a smile on people’s faces and made them realise that Kingston town centre can be a vibrant, interesting and cultured place. The finale was by far the best received event that I have witnessed in the town centre. I was amazed to see people who are usually very cynical of such things thoroughly enjoying the whole spectacle and singing your praises for weeks afterwards.” — Dom Clarke, Owner of Woody’s Bar & Kitchen 88

“The Dancing Umbrellas canopy in Emms Passage down the side of the theatre was a constant source of merriment for loads of people. I was forever seeing people stopping having spotted them, walking down the alleyway, posing in front of them for a photo, looking up and commenting – all smiling. Several people were disappointed to hear they wouldn’t be up for longer. We are missing them and the smiles they brought!” — Liz James, Stage Door, The Rose Theatre, Kingston.

“I had a huge amount of fun volunteering at the festival. I met a load of new people, built my skills for future jobs and got to know my town better – I would recommend anyone who has some free time to help our during or even in the run up to the festival.” — Stacey Johnson, Front of House Volunteer

“Can I say a REALLY BIG THANK YOU to everybody at IYAF for a fantastic two weeks of shows. A particular well done to all the untold volunteers who were very good and approachable, and a great crowd. And of course all the performers. I didn’t see a bad show and some were magnificent. What I particularly like is the chance for the performers and the audience to experiment. Everyone’s IYAF will be different - however I suspect most peoples experience will have been exhilarating! The Festival passes gave me and my family two weeks of eye opening, mind altering, laughter inducing, tear making fun at next to no cost. What a thrill to be able to see a different show every night in your own town. Bliss.” - Chris Brooks, Audience member

“Inspirational and moving. A delight to see the Rose hosting work like this. Many congratulations to everyone who made it possible.” — Professor Gail Cunningham, Director of Cultural Liaison and Operation, Kingston University
