Box in LOV Project: Year 2 ...................................................................................................... Bringing theatre to young people and young people to the theatres Creative team Emma Butcher, Maria Gray, Alan Major (Actors);; Philippe Cherbonnier, Michael Wicherek (directors);; Stephen Burke (facilitator). Also supported by East Lindsey Council Stage 1- bringing young people to the theatre Throughout January 20<strong>14</strong>, the Company was in residence at three theatre venues in the county: The Lincoln Performing Arts Centre (LPAC), The Louth Playgoers’ Riverhead Theatre (LPRT) and the Trinity Arts Centre (TAC) in Gainsborough. 50% of the partner schools in the project took advantage of the opportunity to attend open rehearsals at their nearest venue, giving their students the chance to engage more fully with the art of making plays in a theatre environment. “Really enjoyed the experience. It brought theatre alive and especially because the director assisted us through the process of how and where he gets his ideas from.” Year 11 student, Lincoln Christ’s Hospital School Stage 2- bringing theatre to young people In February, Macbeth and Introduction to Shakespeare toured to 16 schools in the region, reaching a total of 3,429 students while performances of Macbeth took place at Trinity Arts Centre in Gainsborough and of Romeo and Juliet at the Lincoln Performing Arts and the Riverhead Theatre. Creative team Emma Butcher, Maria Gray, Alan Major (Actors);; Philippe Cherbonnier, Michael Wicherek (directors);; Stephen Burke (facilitator). “I thought it was amazing. Thank you for making me understand ‘Macbeth’ and Shakespeare more clearly. I think the way the actors performed it was a great way for me to understand more and it has made me think that Shakespeare is a great poet.” Year 8 student, The Humberston Academy Stage 3- The Clever Collective In the spring half-term, students were invited to join the members of the Company’s professional artistic team at the Riverhead Theatre for three days of creative workshops. “Being part of something where there are other dedicated people was brilliant. The whole concept, the script-writing etc was interesting. Experiences like this are rare so it would be lovely to take part in more events like this. The way Box Clever plays seem to be written, re-written and performed is incredibly interesting and unique.” Year 10, John Whitgift Academy Project schools Skegness Academy, John Whitgift Academy, Monks' Dyke Tennyson College, The Priory Witham Academy, Lincoln Christ's Hospital School, Cherry Willingham Community School, Caistor Yarborough Academy, Caistor Grammar School, The Queen Elizabeth's High School, Melior Community Academy, Baysgarth School, The Humberston Academy, John Spendluffe Technology College, King Edward VI Grammar School, The North Kesteven School, Frederick Gough School
