Doorstep Youth Theatre

Scratch performances from Monday 2 December 2024

On Monday 2nd December DYT had a sharing that showcased our original short pieces of theatre to friends and family; they were all so different and wonderful in their amazing ways. We saw monkey kings, old friends catching up, and old ladies dancing. That is what’s so brilliant about DYT – you have an idea and they will give you a space to create it, and with the aid of the amazing lighting team the whole of DYT created beautiful pieces. – Ivy

 

We worked on devising our own pieces and exploring the different ways to best express our creative freedom. We began by discussing ideas about this term’s theme “growth and change” which prompted lots of discussions and resulted in us splitting into groups of varied sizes to devise a piece about a topic we were passionate about, that linked to this theme. We had varied responses to this with people focusing on different aspects of grief, the topic of female friendships and the power held by this, struggles with how to address topical issues and so much more. – Holly

I’ve really enjoyed creating our own original pieces and although it was difficult and a bit scary I loved performing them on Monday and getting to show what we’ve done and I was really proud of everyone for the incredible pieces they created. I’m really looking forward to continuing DYT and making more fun and amazing theatre. – Will
