With their YTI facilitator, they’ll create a short (2/3 min) piece which will be shared during the disco event at the National Festival in a celebration of Youth Theatres and Dreams. They’ll come together over 3 special workshops to explore the theme of ‘Dreams’, and to generate, refine and record work together. Participating youth theatres will be paired up with another participating youth theatre and a Youth Theatre Ireland facilitator.
Participating youth theatres will take part in a special Partnership Project with another participating youth theatre from 17 April to 24 May. We will try to ensure that there’s a mix of experience amongst the youth theatres and leaders at the festival. We will try to ensure a regional spread of participating youth theatres. We will prioritise youth theatres that have the capacity to participate (e.g., can send 6 to 8 members, provide 2 leaders over the age of 21, complete administration for festival etc.) We will prioritise youth theatres that have not been to the festival before or have not been in a few years. We hope lots of affiliated youth theatres would like to take part in the Festival this year! If we get more than 12 applications, then we will use the following criteria to select participating groups: Don’t worry! If your Expression of Interest is successful, we’ll provide you with some fundraising tips. It’s important to Youth Theatre Ireland that any costs that are passed on to young people are not presented as a Festival participation fee charged by our organisation. If your youth theatre faces additional costs to pay leaders for their festival participation, we would encourage you to fundraise for these additional costs or include them within your youth theatre’s budget for the year. Youth theatres are responsible for providing two leaders to support young people’s participation in this online festival. Youth Theatre Ireland believes that all young people should be able to participate in our programmes so there is no participation fee.
