Youth Theatre appear in Hi8us South film
Half Moon is pleased to announce the involvement of it's Youth Theatre members in a short film, A knife in the Life of...you? aimed at 11-14 years olds and produced by Hi8us South. The project was commissioned and funded by Tower Hamlets Crime Reduction Unit.
The film is aimed at young people who are not carrying knives but may be at risk of carrying them for protection in the future. It will be used as tool to raise awareness to the dangers and possible consequences of carrying knives and aims to lead to facilitated discussions amongst young people in schools and Youth Organisations in Tower Hamlets. It will also be supporting the Tower Hamlets Knives Amnesty being launched on May 24 2006.
Half Moon worked in partnership with Hi8us South to run a series of facilitated drama workshops with a group of young people, many of whom attend the Youth Theatres at Half Moon. In the workshops Derek Brown from Actor Shop worked through the outline to the scenario that had been devised with Hi8us South and Tower Hamlets. From these workshops a cast of young people spent three days filming in and around Tower Hamlets. The whole project has been an great opportunity for our young people to get involved with an issue that affects them and to explore the media of film.
