RE:LOCATION International Youth Theatre Project Transforming young lives through creative cultural exchange RE:LOCATION is a pioneering international youth arts project designed to celebrate excellence in youth theatre through: > multinational collaboration, and > the creative investigation of notions of place and identity. Each event brings together talented young people from local youth theatres in participating nations to take part in one extraordinary creative experience. Every two years the RE:LOCATION process culminates in a new piece of large scale site-specific theatre designed to respond to an inspiring location within the host nation. RE:LOCATION aims to demonstrate the ambition, contemporary relevance and quality of current youth arts practice to an international audience. RE:LOCATION was co-founded in 2010 by the Rogaland Teater, Norway and Promote YT, Scotland, and launched to widespread acclaim in 2012. RE:LOCATION 2012 saw 50 young people and 15 professional artists from Scotland, Norway, Denmark, France, Germany and Ireland investigate the space, environment and atmosphere of the Bjergsted Park in the coastal city of Stavanger, Norway. In 2014, RE:LOCATION participants will respond to a chosen site in the Kingdom of Fife, in Scotland.
