Kate McGregor chose not to retum to her postion as co-ordinator following her matemity kave and Gra Alexander-scott Stayed on In the rde for April to July of 2022. This period saw the cuknlnaon of our Stones of Survival project. In collaborat¢on with Green Arts Centre we concluded the delivery of 25 x I hour sUmulL15 workshop5 to 10 schools In Merton reathing 625 young people. These workshops were based around the word suNval and what it means to the young people. The schwls were then free lo £ate any athork- wsual or perforrning in response to thi5 Stimulus to be showcased at the Arts Sharing in July. After hugety successful productions in the Studio at New Wimbledon Theatre (Strawberry Yoghurt and A Serie5 of Publlc Apologies) our Young Actor5 Company groups embarked on devising small performances inspired by real life stories of 5urvlval to be perfomed at the same Art5 Sharlng.
