Something Underground Theatre co.
Wandsworth Boys offered Free Theatre Workshops
Of Our Own Making
Made by someone closer than you think.
With hard-hitting play Of Our Own Making, Award-winning company Something Underground will be hitting Tara Arts, Earlsfield in Feb 2019. But with free theatre workshops, they’re looking for boys in the area to come and help them create the action!
Of Our Own Making is a compelling thriller from writer/director Jonathan Brown, about online recruitment, refugees, Brexit, home grown fear, Iraq, and much more.
And Something Underground is seeking local boys (age 12-16) to come, workshop and rehearse with this professional company through a set of free, all-expenses-paid workshops, with director Jonathan Brown, with a Movement Director, with professional actors from the play, and with Mark Nightingale of mens mentoring organisation, A Band of Brothers.
Of Our Own Making is a new play from Something Underground, whose other work has earned them Brighton Fringe Best Male Performer, Best Female Performer Award and nominations, Best New Play Award and shortlisting (New Writing South), amongst other accolades.
Jonathan, Artistic director of Something Underground, says, “We’ve been awarded funding, by Arts Council England’s Project Grants Award, to run the play at Tara in February, and part of the community aspect of the project is to bring boys into the production, and rehearse them in specific scenes, using a movement director,… including scenes of online recruitment, and crowd scenes.
If the boys “hit the mark” then we can include their work in the final production. We’ve limited spaces, and we get going on 1st December, so anyone thinking of joining us needs to get their skates on and get in touch, (via [email protected]) ”
