Annual Review 2016 by Mousetrap Theatre Projects

ANNUAL REVIEW 2016

Chairman’s & Director’s Message

WE AIM

WE SERVE

passionately in the power of theatre to transform young lives

to engage young people through theatre and drama, using it creatively to educate, challenge and inspire

young people across London and beyond, focussing on those who experience disadvantage – whether economic, social, or through a learning or sensory disability

2015 – 2016, was another great theatregoing year at Mousetrap Theatre Projects. All our programmes involve a theatre visit and last year we took over 14,000 disadvantaged young people to hundreds of productions across London. The feedback we receive from young people, teachers and parents makes it clear that our programmes make a difference – not just to their learning and personal development, but to the quality of their lives. Highlights included a very buoyant celebration of Stomp’s 13th birthday – filling the theatre with 13 year olds experiencing their first-ever West End show. We also launched an exciting new scheme for young adults aged 24-29. Theatrescene4£15 enables former Westend4£10’ers to continue theatregoing at £15/£20, but also asking these young adults to ‘give back’ by mentoring younger Mousetrappers and supporting our work. Mousetrap increased its support for young people with special needs with sold-out relaxed performances of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Bugsy Malone. We extended our Envision programme for visually impaired young people to include family members at Saturday matinees, encouraging the whole family to take part in the workshops, touch tours and attend the show together. We also piloted Artists-in-Residencies, featured in the following pages.

MARK LOMAS

WE BELIEVE

This year’s Annual Review focuses on just three of the 20 access, creative learning and youth engagement programmes we offer. We hope the stories, quotes and photos give you a sense of the value and vibrancy of young people engaging with theatre.

At the heart of our work is the desire to open the doors of London’s outstanding theatre to young people who would otherwise consider them closed.

None of this would be possible without the many trusts, foundations, corporations and individuals – including theatre owners and producers – whose generosity makes our work achievable. Thank you so much. With your continuing support we will keep working to improve the lives of disadvantaged young people through the magic of live theatre.

MOUSETRAP THEATRE PROJECTS ANNUAL REVIEW 2016

A focus on Explore Our Explore drama projects in special schools have been hugely popular for some years as teachers have seen the enormous benefits to the students taking part. We believed the educational impact could be even bigger and so in autumn 2015 we piloted an “Artists-in-Residence” model. Instead of weekly workshops, we put two drama practitioners into a school full-time for a whole week. The pilot in New Rush Hall School in Redbridge was so successful that this model is now embedded into our ongoing offer to special schools.

“A is incredibly anxious about moving on in September. He can be very articulate but has been almost totally signing. He has just blossomed, he’s just engaged, and for him as a severely autistic child he’s been talking for talk’s sake.” Teacher, Little Heath School

“I like the imaginative part … where anything can be possible. I’ve overcome my anxiety a bit as usually I get too shy and I get too scared to do things in public.”

I M PA C T

Student, New Rush Hall School ACTIVITY

“They’ve achieved everything that we would have hoped for… Their confidence and their self-esteem went up enormously. Their ability to understand and focus on what they were being asked to do was extraordinary.”

“You don’t think you’ve helped me but you have. I’ve never felt … the way [performing] makes me feel, it’s like being on another planet.”

Teacher, Riverside School

Student, Charlton Park Academy

MOUSETRAP THEATRE PROJECTS ANNUAL REVIEW 2016

After the pilot, we ran 3 more Explore Artists-in-Residencies in Charlton Park Academy (Greenwich), Riverside School (Haringey) and Little Heath School (Redbridge). Each project was bespoke, designed to meet precise aims set by the teacher, mostly focussing on soft skills.

For the post-pilot projects, teachers gave full marks for meeting every aim – improving communication skills, teamwork, respect for others, self-confidence and resilience. This is an astounding success rate given the range of the pupils’ needs and the breadth of the aims established for each project.

All groups went to the theatre, seeing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Billy Elliot the Musical, The Lion King or The Railway Children. The drama practitioners used the theatre productions as a catalyst for the projects, skilfully weaving the themes and characters into the activities designed to meet the desired skillsbased outcomes.

MOUSETRAP THEATRE PROJECTS ANNUAL REVIEW 2016

A focus on Summerstage We introduced Summerstage, our performing arts summer school, to provide a positive activity for young people during the holidays at an affordable price. Summerstage runs for two weeks annually with a different cohort of young people each week. They attend Monday to Friday with a performance for family and friends on Friday afternoon.

“The young participants are given much more than the chance to perform – they are cared for, educated, supported.” Parent

“His ability to focus, to cooperate with others, to enjoy working as part of a team... Summerstage opened all these things up to him.” Parent

ACTIVITY Most were recent participants in our youth club drama projects or from our theatre going scheme for disadvantaged families, others were referred through Social Services. The young people had a wide range of abilities and some had additional learning needs and disabilities. A professional director tutored the young people in acting, improvisation and devising, responding loosely to the themes in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I M PA C T Two visiting practitioners also ran movement and music sessions. Both groups saw In We had terrific feedback from the Heights, which they loved. At the end the parents/carers and young of each week, the groups presented people. When we asked what changes their devised performance at the Soho Theatre. the adults saw in their child, nearly every

respondent cited an ‘increase in confidence’. ‘Happy’, ‘more independent’, and ‘taking steps towards maturity’ were also frequently mentioned. 100% of the young people rated the ‘the chance to make new friends’ as a favourite aspect of Summerstage. 31 participants also worked towards the Bronze Arts Award, a Level 1 qualification on the Regulated Qualifications Framework, with all passing. 12

MOUSETRAP THEATRE PROJECTS ANNUAL REVIEW 2016

“The teachers were FAB, letting me think and express myself as a young person.” Young Person

“We were totally blown away by the final performance. The professionalism of what this group of young people who didn't know one another previously achieved in such a short time was incredible.” Parent “It brings out the best of your creative skills, as well as helping you find skills you don’t even know you have… Performing at Soho Theatre really feels like you’re on your way to the music theatre industry.” Young Person

MOUSETRAP THEATRE PROJECTS ANNUAL REVIEW 2016

A focus on Insight sessions As part of Theatreopeners, our largest access programme for mainstream secondary school students, we offer Insights: a 90 minute participatory session. These give students a unique opportunity to get ‘behind the scenes’ of the play or musical they are about to see. Since 2006, we have offered 64 Insight sessions, working closely with shows’ creative team members, from directors to designers to cast members, to provide a deeper understanding of a particular aspect of the production.

“I have worked in Inner London state schools for 12 years and simply could not have survived it without the magic of Mousetrap. It is an extraordinary project and programme you offer… the most valuable resource, and I know every child has loved it.” Teacher, The Bridge Academy

ACTIVITY

“My thoughts for the whole day was fantastic. The workshop helped me to understand how much work and effort is put to make a magnificent piece to display. I really enjoyed the performance too.” Student, Amaluna Insight

“We had a fantastic time, the workshop was brilliant... the whole experience will inspire them with their own creative work. Thank you so much for these invaluable experiences Mousetrap gives us.” Teacher, Gumley House School

“The War Horse puppeteering workshop was the single best student workshop I have seen in action because, with great drive, discipline and warmth, the facilitators showed the boys what imagination and skill can do for an audience. They were engaged, transfixed and then inspired and the production was made all the richer for them.”

This past year we offered Insight sessions for productions as diverse as Cirque du Soleil’s Amaluna, The Lion King, Show Boat, The Threepenny Opera and War Horse. For the Amaluna Insight, company member, Colette Auer led a range of skill-based physical exercises including juggling, acrobalance and stilt walking, assisted by circus practitioners from the National Centre for Circus Arts. The workshop focused on technique, trust and team work.

I M PA C T

The sessions live up to their name, giving students a real insight into theatre-making using real life examples and direct interaction with theatre professionals. They provide a unique, aspirational experience that teachers alone would not be able to deliver. For example, The National Theatre’s The Threepenny Opera Insight enabled the students to experience the exercises that were used with the professional ensemble during the rehearsal process.

Teacher, Rokeby School
