Bootworks Theatre present

Bootworks Theatre present TEN

The year they were born the words ‘clickbait’ and ‘YOLO’ were added to the dictionary.   

Since then, it’s been an eventful ten years; Brexit, Minecraft, a climate change emergency, COVID-19.  

But what do they remember and what was important to them? 

Ten is a gateway age; over halfway to becoming an adult. It’s an opportune age to remember the past, imagine the future, and take stock of what’s happening now. 

Additional Event Info:

  • bOing! is a relaxed festival – audience members are free to leave and re-enter the performance.
  • All performances will be fully captioned

We are recruiting 9 x ten-year-olds to work with the company to create the material and perform in TEN, between 19th – 25th August 2024 (10:00am – 4:00pm each day; the last 2 days will include a performance in the afternoon as part of the bOing! Festival). The workshops will take place at the University of Kent.

If you would like to sign your young person up for the project then please email creativeengagement@kent.ac.uk with an expression of interest and they will send you a sign up form to complete. Your child will need to be available for the full duration of the workshops/performances. Please note that there is a limit to the number of young people that we can accommodate.

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
