A huge congratulation to all Windmill Young Actors for a fantastic and highly professional performance at The Windmill Theatre last night. I was hugely moved and immensely proud. I heard every un-micced word, every emotion, every character. They stood up and they excelled!
Each show with this group is more ambitious and every performer rises to the challenge time and time again. Tanushka and I are adamant that we treat these young kids as professionals. We set very high standards. We want to encourage hard work, commitment and ensemble, creating inspired work that will move, entertain and provoke an audience. Can that be done with a bunch of kids? Of course it can!
Last night proved that a group of 30 children aged 7 - 12, can create highly focused, highly professional theatre. And it was only the start!
'The Legacy of Fingerless Gloves' was an intense piece but the beginning of the creation of a new world. Next term will further develop a future where natural resources are running out and the young people are taking over. They have been left with a legacy, a disaster, a fallen and falling world.
What is to come and will they unite?
