Scottish Youth Theatre and Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Widening Access. Working in partnership to reach young people in rural and island communities.
Stories & Spaces was a free opportunity for young people in Scotland’s rural and island communities interested in growing their theatre and wider artistic skills. The programme offered different approaches to performance-making through a creative exploration of young people’s stories and spaces.
A two-day workshop, led by a team of creative professionals, guided 20 young participants from Mull Youth Theatre through installation-making, site-specific storytelling, photography, lighting and sound design. This exploration culminated in an installation that was exhibited at An Tobar for 2 weeks at the end of January and beginning of February. 50 people from the local community visited the installation on the first day – creating a space where everyone was invited to help shape the future exchange of stories and ideas between young people living in rural communities in Scotland.
