<strong>The</strong> Interact Youth <strong>Arts</strong> festival <strong>is</strong> back for the fifth year running<br />

and th<strong>is</strong> time it’s bigger and better than ever before. Now on for<br />

10 Days, the extended <strong>programme</strong> for 2013 <strong>is</strong> both creative and<br />

imaginative, offering a huge range of activities for those aged<br />

12 – 21.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Youth Forum has worked extremely hard <strong>to</strong> make <strong>InterAct</strong><br />

2013 as diverse as possible. Our selected theme <strong>is</strong> ‘Cultural<br />

Crossroads’ and we’ve tried <strong>to</strong> include other cultures throughout,<br />

from the Indian ‘Holi’ throwing on Sunday <strong>to</strong> the Japanese Ponyo<br />

screening on Tuesday. We’ve also tried <strong>to</strong> include different<br />

subcultures – so whether you’re a geek or a gleek, we’ve got you<br />

covered!<br />

Many thanks <strong>to</strong> all those who have helped with the Festival – our<br />

funders and sponsors, the Millennium Forum, Kate and Emma.<br />

But most of all, thank you <strong>to</strong> the Youth Forum whose ideas have<br />

formed the <strong>programme</strong> for th<strong>is</strong> unforgettable festival.<br />

So come down and join us and see what’s buzzing!<br />

‘Cultural Crossroads’, the Youth Forum’s selected theme for the<br />

fifth annual <strong>InterAct</strong> Festival, brings two things <strong>to</strong> mind. <strong>The</strong> first,<br />

I’m ashamed <strong>to</strong> say, <strong>is</strong> Britney Spears’s regrettable 2002 foray<br />

in<strong>to</strong> road movies. <strong>The</strong> second <strong>is</strong> more interesting, and, I think,<br />

reflects the character of the festival as a whole. Put simply, it’s<br />

choices.<br />

In th<strong>is</strong> momen<strong>to</strong>us Derry-Londonderry City of Culture year,<br />

the ‘choice’ of workshops, masterclasses, gigs and screenings<br />

at <strong>InterAct</strong> has never been greater. Expanded <strong>to</strong> 10 days <strong>to</strong><br />

accommodate our amazing acts, <strong>InterAct</strong> <strong>is</strong> delighted <strong>to</strong> welcome<br />

new partners <strong>Arts</strong> Ekta, the National Youth Orchestra, the Fresh<br />

Academy of Performing <strong>Arts</strong>, Magee Core and Hanger 18. Combined<br />

with our tried and tested ‘festival favourites’ (like Bounce’s DJ<br />

School and Janeen Whiteside’s pho<strong>to</strong>graphy), we are sure the<br />

sheer range of activities <strong>available</strong> – from gaming at the ‘Geek<br />

Night’ <strong>to</strong> singing with Fra Fee – will make for the most memorable<br />

festival yet.<br />

Choice, though, means something else <strong>to</strong> myself and the Youth<br />

Forum – the choice <strong>to</strong> engage. Paul Nolan’s latest Northern Ir<strong>is</strong>h<br />

Peace Moni<strong>to</strong>ring Report has noted that whilst young people with<br />

d<strong>is</strong>posable income have embraced a neutral, cosmopolitan arts<br />

scene, for those without these means, arts and culture represent<br />

‘just another form of social exclusion’. <strong>The</strong> 12 – 21 year olds<br />

that work closely with the Millennium Forum <strong>to</strong> create <strong>InterAct</strong><br />

want everyone <strong>to</strong> be included. That’s why all our workshops and<br />

masterclasses are FREE, that’s why we have such a broad choice<br />

of events, and that’s why we’re here, year in, year out.<br />

So get stuck in. You’ve got a choice.<br />

Engage, participate, interact, and most importantly, enjoy!<br />
