Ignite Theatre Launch- Join Us!Ignite Theatre (formerly Knightswood Youth Theatre) invites you to attend their launch event which mixes the old and the new. Tuesday 23rd March Knightswood Youth Theatre began in October 2007, bringing together young people aged 14 to 18 living in the Scotstoun, Knightswood and Yoker areas of Glasgow. The group is a mix of local Glaswegians, asylum seekers and refugees, all brimming with fresh talent and a proven commitment to creating new and dynamic work. The company boast many successes, including being awarded the prestigious Philip Lawrence Award (2008), celebrating great young people working together to develop and enhance mutual understanding and friendships. The Ignite Theatre launch promises to be an evening of performances not to be missed, including fragments of celebrated previous work performed by the company, exploring the roots of the group, their shared history and coming of age as an Independent Youth Theatre. Ignite Theatre will also premier a work in progress, My Bit which is in development for Refugee Week 2010 in partnership with Ankur Productions PANGAA Project. My Bit uses music and movement to explore the joys and fears of living in Glasgow. The event is free and members from across the community have been invited to come and share stories of their experiences of living in Glasgow and tell Ignite Theatre what they want from their local youth theatre. We hope you can join us and make this occasion really memorable.
