Hull Truck Youth Theatre - The Hunt
Saturday 29 August, 12pm and 3pm
Burton Constable Hall
The performance is for the hall’s free Family Fun Day
Hull Truck Youth Theatre bring the 1800s alive at Burton Constable Hall
The Hunt has been specially written for the occasion by playwright and performance poet Henry Raby, who works regularly with Youth Theatres around Yorkshire. The site-specific play satirises life in the 19th Century when the hall’s stables would have been in their prime. Henry has taken inspiration from the slapstick style of popular children’s TV programme Horrible Histories, as well as a hearty dose of Blackadder. The show is directed by Hull Truck Theatre’s Youth Theatre Director Tom Bellerby.

This is a choreographic workshop for people without any dance training or experience, but if you do have experience come along as well. As a participant you will move to whichever extent you wish/can: you can remain sat on a chair and work with your arms and torso, or you can climb the walls. This session will be run by choreographer Rita Marcalo.
Making it is a monthly night run by IOU where artists, creatives and makers of any discipline can come together for experimentation, exchange of ideas, networking and skills sharing opportunities at IOU Studio.

LGBT Choir development opportunity
Arts Development are working with Hull Truck Theatre and the LGBT Community to develop a choir to contribute to Big Girls Blouse show on Saturday 26 September. The show requires a community choir for the finishing number and we thought it would be a good idea to use this as an opportunity to pilot a LGBT choir. Arts Development would like to consider the feasibility of establishing a LGBT choir in the longer term, as part of our Singing City initiative, and this looks like an ideal opportunity to test the waters.
All singers would need to be available for rehearsals at Hull Truck Theatre on: Wed evening 23 Sept, Fri evening 25 Sept, and from 3.30pm on Sat 26 Sept and into the evening for the show.
To register your interest please e-mail: lgbt@andytrain.co.uk Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
