My CREATETour
Tees Valley and Fuel Theatre

For the last few weeks, from Tuesday 30th October to Friday 16th November,  Rural Arts has been running it's CREATE Tour project in Tees Valley. For the project we worked with eight young people from Tuned In! in Redcar to create a curtain-raiser piece that went on to tour alongside the show "Summit" from Fuel Theatre.
During the first week of the project Fuel Theatre's facilitator, Toni Dee, helped the group create their show piece; "Imagine" with script writing workshops, drama warm-ups and show rehearsals. 
She also visited two other venues during the week, to deliver taster workshop sessions for other young people living in the Tees Valley, including with Hope 4 East Cleveland as pictured below.

During the workshop week with the young people from Tuned IN!, we also took the opportunity to take part in Fuel Theatre's #whatchange campaign, getting the young people to tell us what change they would like to see…
