Imaginate is thrilled to partner with the Traverse Theatre to present an evening of early-stage scratch performances for young audiences. The event is an excellent opportunity to see exciting and diverse early-stage dance and theatre pieces made for children and young people, and to provide constructive feedback to the artists on their performance ideas. There will be time for networking afterwards.
Please note the event is aimed at artists, freelancers and industry peers and not for children or the general public.
Tickets are £5.50, including entry to the Scratch and refreshments afterwards, and should be booked through the Traverse box office.
Programme
The Loudest House in Glasgow (age 7-11 years)
by Rebecca Donovan
A scratch idea exploring what makes somewhere feel like home, and how we find our place when everything around us feels unfamiliar.
Boxed In (unknown age)
by Julia Chan & Robyn Gray
Do you trust the floor you are standing on? Boxed In is a new act in development for young audiences. It explores what trust and bravery mean in friendship and what games can be portrayed on stage for children. It is a nonverbal performance with two acrobats traversing a wooden box.
The Lighthouse Keeper (unknown age)
by James Lismore
A non-verbal performance about a Lighthouse Keeper (and his wee dug) and the importance of companionship. May contain mild peril.
The Centre of the Moon (working title - age 7-11 years)
by Garrick Pagel
The Centre of the Moon is a script in development that takes inspiration from Khoisan folktale of the mantis and the moon. The story follows Agnes - a precocious young person with an eye for mischief.
