LivEveryPlay AUTUMN WINTER 2015

Cultural organisations like the Everyman & Playhouse are important to the wellbeing of cities like Liverpool, not just to the wider community but they are also vital to business in many ways including making this a great place to live and in fostering creativity. John Sutcliffe, Chair of Liverpool & Sefton Chambers of Commerce

ISSUE 1


Welcome Welcome to the first edition of LivEveryPlay, which provides a glimpse into the rich life of the Everyman & Playhouse that lies behind our stages. With the exception of the wonderful Odyssey - which has just left us to fly Liverpool’s cultural flag around the country - you’ll notice a distinct lack of shows. That’s because there’s so much more to the e&P that doesn’t often make it into the spotlight.

Ignition Every now and then, someone comes along, who is clearly exceptionally talented and has the potential to do great things. Traditionally, it’s been very difficult for the Everyman & Playhouse to respond to these artists, especially if they don’t fit into a particular field such as writer, actor or director. In response to this, the theatres created a new programme to support emerging local artists called Ignition. It was made possible by donations made by the public which has created a rare and unique opportunity to respond flexibly as talent is discovered. The Talent Fund is starting to have a real impact on creating new work and supporting talented individuals. Over the last 18 months the Talent Fund has supported people such

as actor Kieran Urquhart who was recently in Scuttlers at the Royal Exchange and will soon be in Leicester Curve’s The Witches. Talent offstage has also been given the chance to flourish. Following their time at e&P as Trainee Assistant Producers, Martin Poile and Bernie Whittle have gone on to positions at Headlong and National Theatre Studio, while Michelle Grant is currently benefitting from the same opportunity. Everyman & Playhouse’s Associate Director Nick Bagnall is the man on the lookout for the unsung talents that could be ideal candidates for Ignition, taking in the work of performers of all kinds throughout the city. “It’s about seeing a spark in someone and being able to invest in that,” he says. “It is something that is really exciting to do, and something that doesn’t happen often in this industry.” The Ignition bursary gives recipients the chance to use the Everyman’s rehearsal space,

“I never thought I’d do a one-man show,” says Lewis Bray. The 25-year-old actor became one of YEP’s most recognisable successes to date with his warm and funny show Cartoonopolis, the story of his younger brother Jack and how he sees the world as a person with autism. The show, performed at the Playhouse Studio in February this year, was developed through Ignition and the Talent Fund.

Lewis went on to perform a segment for a selected audience at the National Theatre, and promoted the show on BBC Breakfast news.

collaborate and network. No specific outcome is demanded – it is all about supporting creativity. Importantly, this means the fund is kept and spent locally, and by creating opportunities for performers in the city it goes a way to prevent a creative talent drain out of the North West. Nick adds: “There’s so much talent out there, and Ignition is helping to find young people who are underrepresented in the industry, those whose natural habitat isn’t a theatre - and that makes it really exciting. The great thing about this fund is there are no parameters. Regardless of background, if you’ve got talent it will be recognised and promoted.”

He hopes to perform the show again in future. Lewis had always dreamed of being a professional actor, yet was left disheartened by being unable to secure a place at drama school. It was while studying at Liverpool Community College he met YEP Director Matt Rutter and struck up a friendship that really allowed his talents to shine through. He joined YEP, performing in productions including Papertown and The Grid. But Lewis wanted to push himself out of his comfort zone, and began working with Matt on a personal project. “When I was told about the Talent Fund I was over the moon,” he says.

After his show, with the support of Nick Bagnall, Lewis went on to play Francis Flute (and Thisbe) in the Everyman’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, secured an agent, and is now hoping to move into TV and film work.

“My dreams and goals have all been made possible by the Everyman and the Talent Fund,” he says. “I have really found what I want to do, and now I can put myself out there as a professional.”

It was just the opportunity the 21-year-old from Kirkdale was looking for - she had been gaining experience across the Liverpool theatre scene for a few years but was looking to take things to the next level.

After performing one of her pieces in an Everyword Platform event – a ten minute poem about Nikola Tesla and quantum physics – she was inspired to take that aspect of her artistry further. “It was just exhilarating,” she said. “After that I really stepped my game up and it gave me such confidence.”

Upon graduation from Hugh Baird College, she became involved with youth company 20 Stories High both on and off stage, took

Raven hopes to showcase her work at the Everyman with a full performance at some point next year. “This is exactly what I wanted to do – work with professionals and develop myself,” she said. “It’s just amazing. I want to leave this project as a made artist, understanding how the industry works and building a portfolio, so I can go out into the world and do whatever comes my way.”

It was this talent that came to the attention of Nick Bagnall as he was on the lookout for new Ignition Artists.

Michelle Grant, 23, is a trainee Assistant Producer at the Everyman & Playhouse. She joined YEP’s Young Producers strand after graduating from John Moores University with a degree in drama. From there, she became interested in pursuing a career behind the scenes. “I wanted to go into producing but it was very hard to find a way in,” she said. “I found out about the YEP producers’ strand through friends who were already involved.”

THE DIRECTOR Sarah Van Parys graduated from YEP’s two-year Young Directors course this summer, and is currently working on a three month placement at the Everyman & Playhouse as part of the Regional Theatre Young Directors Scheme. The Odyssey: In Rehearsals for Dead d me su Missing Pre

She was one of five people taken on as a YEP Producer last year, and worked on a number of recent productions including Robin Hood, Until They Kick Us Out and The Bacchae, as well as its bi-monthly Scene Change scratch performance evenings.

THE ACTOR Keiran Urquhart has come a long way in a short time. After joining YEP’s Young Actors in time to help devise and perform in The Grid, the company’s first work for the new Everyman stage back in April 2014, he went on to quickly land his first professional job in Jeff Young’s Bright Phoenix, which premiered at the Everyman in October last year. That lead to a role in Scuttlers at Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre, and Keiran will soon tour the UK and Hong Kong as Bruno in Leicester Curve’s touring production of Roald Dahl’s The Witches. Wirral-based Keiran, 20, had always wanted to act, but never imagined it was something he could make a career of. After school, he studied drama at Liverpool Community College and was pointed in the direction of YEP. “It’s been a whirlwind for me, and I owe a lot to everyone at the Everyman,” he says. “When I performed in The Grid, I realised it was definitely what I was meant to be doing.

This has given her the tor opportunity to work as assistant direc ish Engl and e hous Play & n yma of the Ever of Touring Theatre’s current production , The Odyssey: Missing Presumed Dead all. Bagn Nick tor direc ciate alongside asso YEP’s production of Until They Kick Us Out

“YEP taught me enough to be able to come along and succeed in the interview for this job, and I’ve learned so much even in these first few weeks, finding out what you need to do to make a show happen, and how much is involved,” she says. “This has been such a massive opportunity that I never thought would come this quickly. It’s an ideal opportunity to boost my career and it is a real bridge between education and employment.”

Michelle’s next show will be:

“To be able to work with a full crew on a professional production is just so fulfilling. I just love the whole process and thrive on the pressure,” she said.

“YEP really made my dream possible and made me think ‘I can do this’. When I look back I can see how pivotal they were in pushing me to achieve things - it is a great foundation for anyone. If I hadn’t joined, none of this would have happened.” ff Young ix by Je t Phoen h g ri B Keiran in

With the re-opening of the new Everyman, YEP established itself as one of the country’s foremost theatre companies for young people. And while many members join for fun, for other s it provides a starting point for a professional career. YEP now offers opportunities for young actors, producers, direct ors, communicators, writers and technicians to learn more about all aspects of theatre making. Here are the stories of some YEP alumni taking their ambitions to the next level:

THE WRIT ER A passion for regional stories and a natural talent for writing helped see Daniel Matthew’s first full length play produced at the Playhouse Studio.

Daniel’s play Scrapp ers in the Playhouse Stu dio

Daniel, now 27 and originally from Leeds, studied drama at John Moores University with the hope of becoming an actor. Instead, his playwriting ability shone through and a tutor recommended the year-long YEP Young Writers programme. From there he secured the funding to write his first play, Scrappers, initially for the Everyword new writing festival. It was so well received it went on to be given a proper theatrical run. The play was the story of a group of scrap metal workers in Fleetwood dealing with changing times and an industry under threat. Daniel went on to become Leverhulme Writer on Attachment at the theatres. “I like writing dialogue and telling stories that reflect the life I know,” he says. “The Everyman & Playhouse are the greatest theatres in the world. You go to some other theatres and there’s definitely a class divide. Back home, a lot of my friends wouldn’t dream of going to the theatre. So it excites me to tell stories that don’t get told. “When I started the Young Writers course I never once thought it would end up being what it became, but I absolutely loved it. The theatres’ literary manager Lindsay Rodden was so thorough and enthusiastic, and it really rubbed off on me. It was an invaluable experience.” Daniel now has a literary agent and is currently working on his second play, Folk Off, as well as beginning to write for television. He is the director of the youth ISSUE 1 theatre at the Dukes Theatre, Lancaster.

THE TECHNICIAN Lewis Shrigley is now in his second year of training as a YEP Young Technician, and hopes the experience will be the beginning of a career in the industry. Lewis, 21, from Anfield, initially applied out of curiosity and soon found himself hooked. He says: “I saw a flyer for YEP and thought I’d give it a go, and right from the start I loved it. I was looking for something hands on and practical, and here you learn something new every day.” As a Young Technician, Lewis comes in twice a week to learn from the Everyman & Playhouse’s technical team and so far has worked on more than 20 shows for YEP and other small local companies. The course has taught him all aspects of setting up a show, set lighting and much more. “I’ve found what I want to do and it’s my aim to get a job in theatre now,” he says. “Before doing this I’d never had an interest in it; I’d never even had the chance to see a show, and it was the same with a lot of people I knew. Now I think people are more interested – and I’m always telling them ‘you have to come and see this show, it’s unbelievable’.”

Staff Spotlight... Jacquie Davies Head of Wardrobe at Everyman & Playhouse theatres From Hollywood stars to panto dames, Jacquie Davies gets up close and personal with every actor who takes to the stage in an Everyman & Playhouse production. Jacquie has been at the theatres’ since 2008 and has worked on every in-house show since then. With a background in textile design, she has worked in theatres across the North West and Wales, and on television soaps. “Working here is so creative – it’s a lovely environment where you’re surrounded with like-minded people,” she says. “And every new show we do, I have a different set of challenges. My job is fantastic – I get to go shopping for shoes and handbags, and get to make beautiful things. “There is a lovely working atmosphere and nobody has ever been ‘starry’ we’re all working towards the goal of putting on a great show.”

Once the designer and director have come up for the concept for a production, it is Jacquie’s job to make the costume designs a reality. This is usually at the beginning of the rehearsal process, giving some four weeks for everything to be ready on time. At busy periods, Jacquie will take on assistants, but works alone for the most part. She shops for contemporary costumes and makes everything else by hand, taking on board suggestions from cast and crew about what might work best, while keeping things as comfortable and durable as possible. She says: “Some actors have very strong ideas about what they want to wear, and that’s always good, to get to know that character a bit more. Some directors are really keen on costumes, and some are not especially interested. The requirements for a show can change a lot, but it’s an organic process.” In panto season the dame’s outlandish costume changes are a major part of the fun. Jacquie is now so familiar with the requirements of Rock ‘n’ Roll panto regulars Francis Tucker and Adam Keast that she can crack on with work for the festive show much further in advance than regular productions – and with a to-do list that can include anything from princesses to prawns and cows to wicked queens, that can be just as well. Jacquie’s favourite panto dame outfits have included making a dress styled as a wok, and one as a garden, with steps coming out of the costume.

Francis Tucker in the Rock ‘N Roll panto

There is a lovely working atmosphere and nobody has ever been ‘starry’ - we’re all working towards the goal of putting on a great show Jacquie Davies

Of all the productions she has been involved in, Jacquie cites the three Roger McGough Moliere adaptations - Tartuffe, The Misanthrope and The Hypochondriac – as her favourites over the years. A combination of the period detail of the costumes – often too expensive to re-create for the stage in full – twinned with modern flourishes made for an exciting visual spectacle as sparkling as the witty reworking of the text. As with all other aspects of the design of the new Everyman, a fit-for-purpose space for costume-making was desperately needed; and now the department boasts the kind of workroom a dressmaker dreams of. “The old Everyman wardrobe room was cold and definitely wasn’t ideal, and at the Playhouse it is rather small, which makes it tricky,” Jacquie explains. “Here I have got a purpose-built fitting room, that can be curtained off to be private; laundry and dyeing facilities; space for wig making and space to be able to create big things; fabulous state-of-the art cutting tables and machines; there’s plenty of natural light – it’s fantastic. I still can’t wipe the smile off my face.”

Supporter Spotlight... Michael Key A gift for the future For those who love theatre, it is much more than a visit to see a show, it is part of who they are. Often, that first encounter with theatre can be life-changing and the start of a lifelong love of the art form. Sometimes that love translates into financial support, and, for some, into a decision to include theatre in their will.

Michael’s passion for theatre and performance began at an early age, when his father took him to a classical concert as a boy. Born in Dorset, with his first theatrical experience in Bournemouth, he moved to Liverpool for work in the early 1980s.

Michael Key from Everton has been one of the first people to leave a gift to the Everyman & Playhouse in his will.

But it wasn’t until Michael retired from his job at the RSPCA 12 years ago, following on from a career as a political party agent, that his passion for Liverpool theatre really took off. Back then, while introducing the city’s theatre scene to his visiting cousin Leslie, in a bid to dispel the usual stereotypes – they could easily see a different show every night for a week - he realised what a wealth of cultural activities the city had to offer.

A passionate theatre-goer who has seen nearly one hundred productions and concerts across the city this year alone, Michael, 75, was looking for the right opportunity to see part of his legacy go to a good cause.

With the agreement of his family, he has decided he wants to leave 20 per cent of his estate to the theatres. Michael recommends anyone considering leaving a legacy discusses their wishes openly with family first.

“When the fundraising appeal was launched when the Everyman re-opened, it made me think that I wanted to do more than just make a monthly donation,” he says.

Before committing to leaving a chunk of his estate to a charitable cause, he made sure that the other beneficiaries of his will knew what he was planning and understood why he had made such a decision.

Leaving a gift to charity was something Michael had seen the importance of firsthand through his work with the RSPCA, which receives a large portion of its funds in such a way. As he thought about how he would like to distribute his own estate, he considered several cultural organisations before deciding on the Everyman & Playhouse. There is such a fund of goodwill behind these theatres,” he says. “At the Playhouse, I enjoy the quality of the productions, and I know I will be challenged at the Everyman - I keep an open mind and am always fascinated by what I see. The theatres’ commitment to new work makes it so worthwhile to contribute to. It is all about the next generation.

Rowena Dean, Head of Development at the theatres adds “It has been such a pleasure getting to know Michael over the past few years and his love of theatre is immediately apparent. When he first told me that he’d decided to include us in his will I was massively touched by his generosity. As he says, you don’t have to be wealthy to make a difference, and I know from experience that this type of giving can have a huge impact on arts organisations such as the theatres as well as being profoundly satisfying for the supporter”

r.dean@everymanplayhouse.com

“I think my family are pleased, and if more people consider doing this it would break down some barriers to donating in this way,” Michael says. “It is something that everybody can do – it is not about being marvellously wealthy. If a lot of people give just a little through a legacy, together it can make a big difference. “I get quite a kick out of knowing I have made this commitment. Things like this give you a sense of purpose, and I find it very rewarding.”
