Chairs Report 2022- 2023
Jigsaw Youth Theatre have had another productive yet challenging year. As an organisation we have unfortunately had our treasurer leave the organisation who was a key part of the team. She had been with Jigsaw as a member then trustee for over 20 years and we thank her for her years of dedication, commitment and creativity. As a result of her departure this has impacted the executive committee significantly as a small board. The work has had be reassigned to other trustees which has given added pressure to the team.
Our Juniors group created their own self-devised performance “Abandoned toy shop” In July 2022. Theme of the production was the importance of friendship and inclusivity. Rona (Junior group leader) worked with the group on improving performance skills such as voice work I.e. diction and volume which for our younger inexperienced performers really helped build confidence.
Their 2[nd] Production was Alice in Wonderland in March 2023. Rona’s focus for juniors was around characterisation as the characters are already established and well known, it was important they portrayed the character in their style.
Our Senior group has been very challenging as many of our members are A level age, therefore some of our work as been supporting our young people in their course work rather than production. Shell (Senior group leader) and the seniors devised and script 4 short pieces of work area thriller sketches with promenade style and immersive theatre with lighting and sound. However, due to academic pressures we had insufficient numbers to be able to get this to production. The exec team continue to market to bring new members through.
Following the continued impact of COVID fundraising has been essential. We have hosted themed quiz nights and games nights for Easter, Halloween and Christmas which raised over £800. These events also support our relationship with our members and their families.
Jigsaw also had a stall at Black Country Boating Festival in 2022, where we ran a tombola and games over 2 days. With various trustees and members volunteered their time to help run the stall and promote our charity. Across the 2 days we raised over £500, this was then match funded by Julie Porter at Lloyds Bank who had also volunteered time to us.
These are still challenging times for us as a small charity, but I am grateful for the volunteers who work tirelessly for our members to be able to offer them a safe and creative safe to be themselves whilst developing new skills.
