Coventry’s Belgrade Theatre is known the world over for pioneering the Theatre in Education movement and in April 2008 it proved it remains a leader in that field by hosting In Our Own Words, its first ever festival of theatre by and for young people.
The festival line-up included a play for 7 - 13 year olds called The First Time I Saw Snow, which was performed by three professional actors and had also been on a highly successful two-week Theatre in Education tour of local schools.
Look Twice was a new show from the Belgrade’s ground-breaking Acting Out project and The Last Heroes, a co-production with Coventry-based artists, Talking Birds, which was sponsored by the Heritage Lottery Fund and performed by members of various Belgrade Youth Theatre groups.
The festival also featured the premiere of a new film created by the Belgrade’s Acting Up group, called Dockers (pictured below).
