e Welcom Hello everyone and welcome to the eighth annual InterAct Youth Arts Festival, brought to you by the Millennium Forum Theatre and the Youth Forum. InterAct16. As you will soon discover as you browse through this brochure InterAct16 is once again offering an exciting, inspiring, innovative, creative and fun youth arts festival, created by young people for young people. Running over two weekends book-ending your summer and being delivered in a variety of venues, we are once again giving our young people access to the best arts facilitation this city has to offer. There really is something for everyone, from Musical Theatre, Dance, and Photography to Minecraft, Costume Design and of course the ever popular Masterclass, all culminating as ever in the Festival Showcase here in the Millennium Forum auditorium. As you look through this packed brochure, and no doubt are thinking how you are going to be able to attend every single event, I would ask that you remember all those whose hard work and support go in to making InterAct a success every year including our funders, sponsors, partners, my festival assistant, and of course the Millennium Forum staff and the Youth Forum. Without the support, guidance, hard work and dedication that these people provide, InterAct could not be the success it has been and continues to be. THANK YOU and ENJOY!!
