Natural PRESS RELEASES
FOUNTAIN OF NATURAL YOUTH STREET THEATRE WORKSHOPS
19th February 2010
Thanks to support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Natural Theatre Company is offering a series of street theatre workshops to twelve to eighteen year olds, starting on April 14th. These will lead up to promenade performances in front of thousands at Widcombe Rising in June.
Widcombe Rising 2010 celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Kennet and Avon canal and the street theatre will be based around the theme of a goddess who has risen from the waters. There are just forty places on the course, in two separate age groups, and rehearsals will take place once a week in St Matthew’s Church, Widcombe and at the company’s bustling production centre at Widcombe Institute.
This is a unique chance for young people to learn to perform in Natural Theatre’s unique style and to use many of their props and costume facilities. The project will be run by Feargus Woods Dunlop and Heather Westwell who are both experienced performers and youth theatre practitioners. They will be aided and abetted by renowned carnival costume designer Shula Newick.
The full course costs £40 per person and full details can be found on
