THEATRE JEUNESSE
Automne: Présentation
Lors de notre premier trimestre, les groupes concentrent leur énergie sur la création d'une pièce de théâtre qui a lieu à la fin du trimestre, juste avant Noël.
Commencer par la pièce permet à nos élèves de se connaître et de créer des liens en tant que groupe dès le début. Cela leur donne également une expérience précieuse de jouer ensemble sur scène.
Content warning

Lord of the Flies is an EYT+ show.
​
What's the difference between a regular EYT show and an EYT+ show?
Unlike normal EYT productions, EYT+ productions are selective, and students have to audition to get a part in them. With over 90 Senior students (i.e. aged 13-18) with varying levels of experience, we have a huge pool of talented actors to choose from. The students taking part in EYT+ shows are selected very carefully: we're looking for people who want to take drama seriously, and who will work hard to achieve an excellent performance. We're also careful to include a mix of experience and raw talent in the group: this means that students from all across the youth theatre take the lessons they've learned back to their respective groups, and strengthen the youth theatre as a whole. This also means that the group performing is different every year.
Additionally, EYT+ productions get more rehearsal time than regular EYT shows. In our Senior festival, the groups rehearse for 90 minutes a week, for 14 weeks. In an EYT+ production, the group meet once a week for 3 hours on a Sunday, and take part in highly focused rehearsals. They also take part in masterclasses during this time, which focus on building the key skills they will need for the show.
