Welcome to

Juice!

Autumn half term in NewcastleGateshead is all about celebrating the creativity of children and young people as Juice Festival – produced by NewcastleGateshead Initiative – welcomes families from across the country to enjoy ten days of inspiring events and experiences.

New for 2014, award-winning author David Almond is artistic advisor to Juice and has played a key role in shaping this year’s festival. To celebrate, we’ve brought together a series of special events inspired by some of his most popular books – see pages 4-6.

We’re delighted that Port of Tyne is once again headline sponsor of Juice, as part of its commitment to enhancing opportunities for young people. They are getting behind Team Juice, our dedicated young assistants who have helped influence and develop how Juice is run and will be out and about throughout the festival. Find out more about Team Juice on pages 24-25.

The success of Juice Festival is down to our fantastic partners

@JuiceFestival

Welcome to JUIC E 2014.

Young people are na tu ral artists.

They play, sing, da nce, talk, draw, pa int, act, read, write, inquir e, worry, yearn an d dream.

As they grow, they recreate the world and help to make it a bette r place. Don’t belie ve the groaning pessim ists who say that kids today are disengaged. This wonderfully optim istic festival shows that youn g people are activ e and creative citizens, and that their artistic lives are at the beating heart of ou r culture. We’re fo rtunate to have such a festi val here on Tynesid e. Come along to it. Take pa rt in it. Be enterta ined, delighted and ins pired.

David Almond, Ar tistic Advisor

- over 30 regional, national and international cultural organisations and venues working together to make the festival a fun, inspiring and memorable experience for all involved.

We also nurture fresh young talent through projects designed to develop skills and by providing platforms to showcase art created by young people.

Plus, five partner schools have been getting creative with Juice projects in the run up to half term. Find out more about Juice and how you can get involved on pages 24-25.

We hope you’ll enjoy this year’s festival and have fun exploring new art forms and visiting new venues. To help you plan, you’ll find a pull-out event timetable on pages 14-15, with free events highlighted on the reverse. You’ll also find lots more inspiration online at juicefestival.co.uk and juiceblog.com, which has been written by our young journalists team.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Juice Festival 2014 – see you there!

s in partnership with Alnwick Play

presented by Théâtre Sans Frontière

Three orphaned teenagers run away from their children’s home and sail down the River Tyne on a makeshift raft. Stuck on the mudflats, they meet a strange girl who lives with an old man, Grampa. The girl has a secret only Grampa knows... and he’s not telling.

Based on the novel by internationally renowned children’s author and Juice Artistic Advisor David Almond, Heaven Eyes is a poetic but gritty story about young people trying to find their way in the world. Mysterious, heart-breaking and humorous in equal measure, the story will touch the depth of your soul.

A spellbinding and other-worldly tale featuring a great ensemble of young northern actors, original music and video.

A quest to explore the Lit & Phil’s wartime stories with a large dose of November Club magic…

It’s 1914. As the outside world changes forever, the Lit & Phil’s head librarian has gone to fight for his country, leaving hapless Miss Hedley to step into the breach.

She needs your help to search the library for lost items urgently needed for soldiers at the Front. Follow the guided trail and rummage through nooks and crannies and rooms full of secrets, uncovering tales from the trenches and a very special children’s collection created during WW1.

A unique chance for families to explore WW1 history together, brought to life by the unrivalled imagination of November Club and featuring work by pupils of Walkergate Primary School, Newcastle, in response to the Lit and Phil’s wartime archives.

Supported by Heritage Lottery Fund.

When: Sat 25 Oct – Sat 1 Nov various times, see website Where: Lit & Phil Price: Free Info: juicefestival.co.uk

A library with a difference…

Human Library aims to challenge stereotypes and to confront stigma and discrimination in all forms.

The twist is that the ‘Books’ are young people and that ‘reading’ them involves a conversation.

The Juice Human Library gives you the chance and space to talk to people from all walks of life – so browse our catalogue, pick a title that grabs you, ask questions, listen and get lost in a good Book.

Journeys Down the Tyne Juice is excited to have commissioned children and young people from Hilton Primary Academy and New Writing North’s Cuckoo Group to create special poetry and spoken word for this year’s festival – inspired by David Almond’s books, our sponsors Port of Tyne, and the River Tyne itself. Hilton Primary Academy pupils will be performing their spoken word poems across Juice schools week and New Writing North’s poetry film will be screened at events during the festival.
