The Ratz Young Company is an exciting
ensemble opportunity that aims to create theatre makers and performers of the
future. We offer weekly sessions for aged 13-18yrs interested in acting and
trying out new styles of theatre. We aim for a yearly production that will be
performed at our home at The Angles Theatre, Wisbech.
Who is this for?
You are a young person aged 13-18 with an interest
in theatre and performing. You should have desire to be on the stage,
you will be open to working as a group and have appetite to learn and try
new things. We strongly welcome applicants from socially and
culturally diverse backgrounds, and members of the
transgender community.
When and where?
The Ratz Young Company will be based at The Angles
Theatre, Wisbech. The company sessions will run for 20 weeks, with review and
evaluations sessions following the final performance. Sessions are
every Monday at 5:30-7pm.
What we offer
Company members will be guided and trained by industry
professionals. Throughout this course actors, directors, and theatre
specialists - including Angles Theatre alumni and those presently working
within our Ratz Adult Company, will be invited to give workshops and
talks. These exclusive sessions will provide an insight as to what it is
like to perform in a working theatre and pursuing a career in this
challenging industry.
The Ratz Young Company is a unique opportunity
where members are treated as acting professionals. The
company will have opportunities to collaborate, devise and work
on productions that they are interested in - and make their
own creative stamp on the theatre. We will give our young people
a voice, enabling them to influence the projects they participate
in and their artistic output. It is a step beyond education, it is
about influencing the Arts and playing an important role in its future.
