high quality|| |||||drama workshops,
that engage young|| |||||people and bring different age groups|| |||||together and get young people, who may|| |||||otherwise
never meet, working together|| |||||In partnership.|| |||||We presently
have 4active volunteers|| |||||who attend regularly
weekly sessions,|| |||||learning
new skills and supporting
the|| |||||younger members ofthe group.|| |||||In May 201927members ofour senior|| |||||group took part In the National Theatre|| |||||Connections
Festival performing
their|| |||||show 'Chaos' by Laura Lomas which|| |||||they had been rehearsing
forseveral|| |||||months.
They first performed
itat their|| |||||home venue the Bush Theatre, going on|| |||||to perform at the Lyric Theatre|| |||||Hammersmlth
to a full house.|| |||||WCYT in partnership
with the Bush|| |||||Theatre ran their annual summer project|| |||||from June through to the end ofJuly|| |||||where members ofthe youth theatre|| |||||worked with playwright
Bisola Alabi|| |||||during their Monday night workshops|| |||||developing
their ideas, which Bisola|| |||||used to write 'Watch Me Dance'
~They|| |||||went on to rehearse and perform the|| |||||play on the main stage atthe Bush|| |||||theatre to a public audience during a|| |||||week4ong summer performance
project|| |||||at the
innin
ofthe summer
holld|s.| |At the end ofthe project, members of|the| |---|---| |company went on a fully funded
trip to|| |the Bridge Theatre tosee a magical|| |production
ofA Midsummer
Night' s|| |Dream.|| |All members ofthe WCYT along with|| |their families were invited (free of|| |charge) tosee the opening ofthe|| |National Theatre's
production
ofPeter|| |Pan at Troubadour
Theatre in White City,|| |which many attended.|| |In September 2019WCYT recruited
new|| |members for both oftheir drama groups|| |through
local schools and community|| |organlsatlons.
They Iilled all available|| |places and had to put many children
and|| |young people on a waiting list. WCYT|| |give priority to children
and young|| |people living in White City as well as|| |always ensuring
that they are reaching|| |children
and young people who would|| |otherwise not have access to drama and|| |the arts, including
socially excluded|| |children.|| |ln October members ofthe junior group|| |went on a trip toTheatre Royal Strafford|| |East tosee Dexter and Winter's|| |Detective Agency written by Nathan|| |Bryon. Nathan who isone ofour trustees|| |and alumni went on to run aworkshop|| |based on themes ofthe play with the|| |children.|| |In October WCYT directors took part In|| |the NT Connections
Directors weekend|| |at the National Theatre In preparation|for| |taking part in the NT Connections|| |festival 2020.|| |In December our junior group did a|| |sharing
performance
for their families|| |and some ofour senior members
went|to| |see 'The Arrival' at the Bush Theatre.|| |In January 2020the senior group began|| |rehearsals
for The ITby Vlvlenne|| |Franzman
which they were due to|| |perform
in April at the NT Connections|| |Festival 2020. In INarch, just before the|| |home performance
atthe Bush Theatre|| |the country went into lockdown,|| |therefore WCYT had to close Its doors|| |and cancel all
rformances.
Natural|| |this was a huge disappointment
to| |---| |WCTP and all ofour young people.| |However, we quickly found we were able| |toconnect with our members via Zoom| |and found new ways toengage with the| |group. In order to make sure the group| |were able to perform 'The It' in some| |form, we asked the senior group to film| |their monologues
from the play on their| |phones or laptops and we did group| |scenes on Zoom which have been used| |tocreate a film ofthe play. The result is| |avery powerful piece which reflects the| |difficulties young people encounter| |living in current times, itisagreat| |testament to the young people's talent| |and commitment.| |We also went ahead with our annual| |Bush Summer Project with the senior| |group in a new format. As In previous| |years the Bush commissioned
a| |playwright
toworkshop
with the group| |and write a play based on their ideas.| |This time the sessions were delivered| |over Zoom during June and July with| |writer Sharon Kanollk, who went on to| |write a radio play called Pioneers. The| |play was very much Influenced
by the| |group's ideas and experiences
during| |lockdown. Making a radio play was a| |first for WCYT and ithas been a really| |brilliant experience for everyone| |involved
and great to keep arecord of| |these extraordinary
times.| |Also, during the summer
months over| |Zoom, members ofWCYT were working| |with film maker, Stuart Mackenzle| |developing
afilm. Once lockdown| |restrictions
had eased the group were| |able to take part in ashort film called| |Knockdown
written by Stuart. The film| |was shot at the end ofthe summer| |holidays, outside
in small socially| |distanced
groups
in locations around| |White City and Shepherds
Bush. The film| |was shared via Social media platforms.| |As a result ofCovld-19 our expectatlons| |have had tochange enormously,
ltwas| |very disappointing
that we couldn't meet| |at the Bush for our usual workshops
and| |were not able to do live perfiormances.| |However, we' re pleased with the way we| |have managed to keep agreat deal of| |our members
en a ed and in the| |process, we have devised exciting new| |---| |projects which have created dlfi'erent| |challenges
and experiences
and new| |methods ofworking.| |The young people we work with across| |all ofour projects regularly
report| |increased self~onfldence
and wellbeing| |as a result oftaking part in activities at| |WCTP. Their parents/carers
also report| |seeing these positive Improvements.
By| |encouraging
and developing
the| |students'
communication,
presentation| |and cowperation
skills, it impacts on| |their ability to collaborate
and socialise| |more successfully
at home, school and| |within the local community.
These skills| |benefit the young people in their future| |personal, academic and working lives.| |Covid-19| |The pandemic has been an especially| |difficult time foryoung people who have| |found the long periods ofisolation away| |from education
and their peers very| |challenging,
many have suflered
with| |anxiety and other mental health| |problems. Fortunately,
we have| |managed to retain all our youth theatre| |services and keep In touch with the| |majority ofour members
via 2oom| |throughout
periods oflockdown.| |Regular digital meetings
with the youth| |theatre offered a fun and engaging
way| |for young people to reconnect with each
other, helping
alleviate feelings of| |loneliness
and Isolation, providing
asafe| |space where the young people could talk| |about their I'eellngs and experiences| |whilst also keeping active and creative.| |INeasures taken:| |When we went into lockdown

were lifted,| |we shot the film Knockdown,
