Jigsaw Youth Theatre CHAIR’S REPORT
Date: 09/2021- 09/2022
I would like to start by saying an enormous thank you to all of my fellow trustees, staff and volunteers that have gone above and beyond to fundraise during this challenging year. It has taken an enormous effort to organise and deliver the Charity Fun Evenings, the stalls at festivals and to write the bids that have given us the necessary funds to recover from the devastating effects of COVID. We would not have managed to see it through this year without your dedication and hard work.
Numbers have slowly begun to rise again in our membership and some outstanding work has been completed despite our struggles. The Seniors were funded to create a piece of original drama around the theme of Mental Health. They invested in research, devised and scripted some bitingly funny and emotional scenes that were based on real life experiences. Our members developed skills in filming, acting for camera and in directing film. This work is yet to be edited but I look forward to the final piece which I know will showcase the talents of our members and staff.
Seniors also developed a historical piece that was based on the suffragette movement in Dudley. This piece was our first performance since COVID and took an enormous amount of effort to produce with such a small cast but was a great achievement in terms of acting.
The Junior Group is beginning to flourish and it is clear that young people are keen to get back to participating in out of school drama groups. With so many new members arriving, their focus has been on developing devising and group work skills. Their work culminated in a mystery themed production set in an elves’ toy workshop.
There remain lots of issues surrounding our venue and its maintenance. Unfortunately due to concerns regarding finances, we have been unable to resolve or improve the situation. Our trustees will be looking into alternatives and consulting with our members regarding possible new homes in the near future.
Things are far from back to normal, our groups will take time to re- establish themselves and we need to inspire the confidence and commitment that is required to produce the high standards of performance that we aspire to deliver. We have shown our resilience and our ability to adapt, I am sure that exciting and rewarding times are just ahead of us.
