E V I T S A E E I R R C DUST IN NTRE, PART D CFEULL TIMCECESS AANTE

to the 2019 International Youth Arts Festival We have a number of ambitions and plans beginning to take shape at Creative Youth and to help us on this journey I am excited to introduce to you our new Festival Director, Petra Jane Tauscher.

Petra has joined Creative Youth with a wealth of experience and knowledge in the arts sector and her contribution in ensuring we continue to remain relevant to our values in supporting, showcasing and celebrating young people in the arts will be significant. I do hope you can join us this summer and sample many of the fantastic offerings which make up IYAF 2019.

Louise Coles Chief Executive, Creative Youth/IYAF

I am delighted to join the International Youth Arts Festival and I can’t wait to share our 2019 programme with the audiences of Kingston and beyond.

We have a brilliant, bold and eclectic programme for you covering music, theatre, visual art, dance and circus spanning ten vibrant summer days this July.

But let me tell you what is unique and exciting about IYAF… IYAF not only celebrates work for and by young people, but also crosses the wonderfully broad age range from 5 – 26 years bringing together professional and pre-vocational performers. IYAF is both an opportunity for communities to engage with the arts as audience and performers, as well an ever growing platform for the best young creative talent emerging today.

IYAF is a festival for the curious, for those who want to be entertained and challenged.

It is also an opportunity for young people of all ages to encounter and inspire each other.

It is a festival looking to the future.

It has been an honour to work with the team in curating the programme and I would like to thank our key partners the Rose Theatre, Royal Borough of Kingston, Kingston University, Kingston College and Kingston First. In addition I must say a big thank you to the numerous staff and volunteers, along with our Board and patrons, without whom none of this would be possible.

THEATRE

Lord of the Flies is a compelling production delivered by an exciting ensemble of young men.

When a plane crash leaves a group of schoolboys marooned on a desert island, it isn’t long before rivalries and violence rise to the surface. At first, the boys enjoy their freedom, playing and exploring the island, but soon the group splits into – those who attempt to preserve the discipline and order they had learned from society, and those who choose to give in to every instinct and impulse, no matter how barbaric.

CAPA is made up of 100 young men from Coombe Boys’ School and boys from the Malden & Coombe Cluster Primary schools. The Drama Department at Coombe Boys’ has a reputation for creating high quality performance work whilst generating an ethos of inclusion and an environment in which anything is possible!

Lord of the Flies by William Golding is adapted for the stage by Nigel Williams.

(L)able is a theatrical sharing of the Young Company’s explorations into the effect and power of labels, stereotypes and preconceptions.

This diverse cast of young artists and performers represents a 250-strong Youth Theatre back at Chickenshed.

About Creative Youth Creative Youth Creative Youth is the charity behind the International Youth Arts Festival. We work to enable young people to realise their potential through the arts, providing opportunities for young people to be involved in innovative, original, ambitious projects and work with emerging young artists with exceptional talent.

In close collaboration with key partners, Creative Youth also mentors young individuals, entrepreneurs, and organisations by providing artistic, business and strategic support, allowing the next generation of artists to flourish.

Aside from the IYAF – which celebrates and supports young artistic talent, other Creative Youth projects and activity include:

Young Creatives The Young Creatives are Creative Youth’s steering panel. Made up of eight young, emerging artists and producers from across the performing arts, the Young Creatives help shape Creative Youth’s strategic direction, and spearhead the development of new artistic projects. Young Creative ensure that young people’s voices are at the heart of everything we do.

Creative Talent Programme Our Creative Talent Programme brings talented young and emerging artists together with experienced industry mentors to develop their artistic work and career in the performing arts.

Focusing on both the creative and practical side of developing a career in the arts, the CTP is an ongoing programme which gives artists the creative, business and strategic support they need to flourish.

The Creative Talent Programme is generously supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

Volunteer Programme

Schools Engagement

Over the last ten years our volunteering programme has developed significantly. We now have a core team of 50 volunteers, increasing to more than 100 during the Festival. Most of our current volunteers had almost no experience of the Arts when they began and, for many, it has been a life-changing experience. Our volunteer scheme is part of the Nationally Recognised vInspired awards scheme.

Creative Youth is an official supporter of the Art Council’s Artsmark Award. We’re proud to be working in partnership with schools and settings on their Artsmark Award journey. By supporting Artsmark settings, we’re helping put the arts at the heart of education, inspiring young people to create, experience and participate in high quality arts and culture.

We work with schools across the borough and beyond on dedicated arts projects, offer bespoke support and advice across the performing arts and support schools on their Artsmark journey.

Find out more about Artsmark here: www.artsmark.org.uk We also offer free School Friends Membership – with offers and discounts on IYAF tickets, priority work experience placements for students, and opportunities for your students/teachers.
