welcome<br />
... TO SPRING 2013 WITH EDEN COURT CREATIVE!<br />
Firstly I’d like to thank every one of you who was involved in an <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> CREATIVE project in 2012.<br />
It was an incredibly busy year for us and we couldn’t have done it without your help and enthusiasm!<br />
Whether you were learning to Salsa on Skye; laughing at Punch and Judy at Belladrum; scaring away the<br />
ghosts and ghouls on the Ness Islands at Hallowe’en; or joined our Young Dance Company’s routine at<br />
London St. Pancras as part of Big Dance 2012, your participation is what makes events like these fun<br />
and rewarding.<br />
2013 is shaping up to be another fantastic year for the Highlands, with plenty of opportunities to get<br />
involved with our regular classes, activities delivered by your CREATIVE Worker In Your Area, or large<br />
scale events and festivals. We’re hosting the National Theatre’s Connections 2013 Festival from<br />
02–04 April (p22), planning a Haggis Lich’ Nicht for Burns Night (p6), and getting together our brand<br />
new Community Dance Company (p6).<br />
We’re also working with our brand new <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> CREATIVE Ambassadors.These are young people<br />
from secondary schools in Highland, who promote the arts and encourage their local community to get<br />
involved in performances at <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> and in their local area.<br />
For the first time we’re also offering a Student Discount on all our adult classes this term so students<br />
should check out all the offers and get involved!<br />
Our SQA course applications are now open, giving you the chance to study Higher Dance and Higher or<br />
Intermediate 2 Drama. For anyone thinking of pursuing a career in the arts, or for those who just want<br />
to try something different next year at school, it’s the perfect opportunity to learn highly valuable skills<br />
and meet like minded people.<br />
New classes this term include Ballet for 13–17 yrs (p12) and a host of new singing classes: <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong><br />
Contemporary Voices (p17), <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> Rainbow Voices (p18) and an <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> Young Voices (p13)<br />
for 9-17 yr olds. We’re sure you’ll find something to take your fancy, no matter what you’re into.<br />
Come on–get Creative!<br />
Kati Kozikowska, <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> Creative Manager<br />
“As the Ambassador for <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> CREATIVE, I am hugely proud to be part of something that<br />
provides so many great opportunities for studying theatre, dance and film-making in the Highlands.<br />
I did a lot of my initial training at <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong>, including my Higher Drama and my LAMDA (London<br />
Academy of Dramatic Arts) certification.The tutors were always there to support me. I had my<br />
first real experience of acting via <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> CREATIVE and it was their knowledge and experience<br />
that encouraged me to take the next step and pursue a career in the arts.<br />
<strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> CREATIVE is a great resource for everyone in the Highlands both young and old. If you<br />
haven’t tried it yet, start participating and get Creative–you never know where it might lead.”<br />
EDEN COURT CREATIVE’S AMBASSADOR AND FORMER STUDENT, KAREN GILLAN<br />

<strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> Young Dance Company & <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> Young Company<br />
<strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> CREATIVE runs many youth theatres and performance groups throughout the Highlands.<br />
The main theatre is home to our two auditioned performance companies that represent <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong><br />
on national stages and at large events. Auditions for these companies are open to any young person<br />
interested in gaining more experience in devising and performing exciting new theatre.<br />
Sarah Malhan (15)<br />
<strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> Young Dance Company (ECYDC)<br />
Why did you want to join ECYDC<br />
ECYDC looked like a great opportunity to meet new<br />
dancers, improve and develop my dance techniques and<br />
skills, to become a more confident dancer and to learn<br />
about different styles of dance.Also the chance to take<br />
part in workshops and shows throughout Scotland<br />
makes it even better!<br />
What do you enjoy about working with the Company<br />
I enjoy working with good dancers that love to dance to<br />
produce high quality pieces. By the end of the year you feel<br />
like you are part of one big, happy, dancing family. Overall<br />
everything in the company is enjoyable!<br />
What kind of challenges have you had to experience<br />
as a member<br />
I had to push myself, mentally and physically, to show I was<br />
worthy of a place in the Company and also not being afraid<br />
to make mistakes as you can learn from them.<br />
What has been your favourite moment as a member<br />
of ECYDC<br />
Taking part in the Scottish Platform event in Stirling was<br />
one of my favourite moments of ECYDC. We had the<br />
opportunity to perform our dance routine to nearly 500<br />
people and had the chance to watch other groups<br />
perform.Another one of my favourite moments was going<br />
down to the Scottish Connections weekend in Glasgow to<br />
take part in many different workshops. We got to work<br />
with lots of different choreographers such as Mark Brew,<br />
SDT and Scottish Ballet.<br />
What other opportunities does <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> offer you<br />
As I attend regular classes at <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> I got offered a<br />
place to go to London to dance in the Big Dance launch on<br />
the 05 July 2012. It was an AMAZING experience!<br />
Caitlin Sherret (15)<br />
<strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> Young Company (ECYC)<br />
Why did you want to join ECYC<br />
I wanted to join ECYC to broaden my acting skills, work<br />
with different people, have new experiences in the acting<br />
world and perform a play I had helped to write in front<br />
of a wider audience.<br />
What do you enjoy about working with the Company<br />
I enjoy meeting new people that I otherwise wouldn’t have<br />
met and going places that otherwise would still be unknown<br />
to me, for instance the National Festival ofYouth Theatre<br />
(NFYT) in Glenrothes. I’ve had so many amazing experiences<br />
through ECYC that I just wouldn’t have had the chance to do<br />
otherwise, like taking part in workshops, helping to write a<br />
play and putting up a tent in the dark past midnight!<br />
What kind of challenges have you had to experience<br />
as a member<br />
As a member,I have had to learn lines quickly–my record is<br />
two days for a whole play,acclimatize to new situations,be<br />
able to try my hand at very diverse types of theatre and really<br />
think outside the box on a number of occasions.My biggest<br />
challenge has to have been writing and performing a“real life”<br />
monologue about my little brother–when I’m acting I’m much<br />
more used to being“other people”than being myself!<br />
What has been your favourite moment as a member<br />
of ECYC<br />
I’ve had so many fantastic moments through ECYC that it’s<br />
impossible to choose just one! However, the ones that stand<br />
out are having Happy Birthday sung to me in the middle of<br />
NFYT, the first ever run through of our play,‘You Can’t Tell By<br />
Looking’, in front of our parents before we showcased it at<br />
NFYT, and standing on stage at NFYT at the very end of the<br />
play, thinking,“Yes, this is what we set out to do.”<br />
What other opportunities does <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> offer you<br />
<strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong> offers me so many amazing opportunities, like<br />
their drama courses such as the LAMDA classes, their<br />
outdoor performances such as the Ness Islands Halloween<br />
performances, the ability to meet like-minded people and<br />
the opportunity to develop skills and to be part of so many<br />
diverse performances, clubs and classes.<br />

<strong>creative</strong> team<br />
Hayley Savage<br />
Accessible Arts Worker &<br />
Creative Arts Worker for Wester Ross<br />
There’s never a dull moment when Hayley’s around. Well known as the ‘Props<br />
Queen’ of the Team, it’s not surprising to find her with an inflatable T-Rex under<br />
her arm, or leading a group of budding young actors out into all weathers in the<br />
name of a luminous giant cockroach! Hayley is also our resident Harry Potter<br />
expert, and will be first on her broom for all witchcraft and wizardry related<br />
goings on here at <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong>!<br />
Hayley’s been very busy this past term with lots of new activities, in particular<br />
our new youth club for young people on the autistic spectrum,The Hub (p20).<br />
You can find out more about Hayley’s work in the Wester Ross area or her work<br />
with young people with additional support needs throughout the Highlands by<br />
emailing her: hsavage@eden-court.co.uk.<br />
What do you like most about your job<br />
The thing I love the most about my job is the sheer variety of activities that I get to do<br />
during a typical week.You might catch me on location filming a version of Lord of the<br />
Rings one minute or up to my elbows in papier-mâché constructing a rubber duck the<br />
next! The people that I meet and work with have such a capacity for fun that I spend<br />
most of my work time laughing and enjoying myself. I really love feeling like I’ve made a<br />
difference to someone's day, even if it is just a joke shared or an experience gained.<br />
My job can be anything and everything ...except boring!<br />
What’s the most difficult thing about your job<br />
A job like mine does have its challenges. Finding the time to plan such a diverse<br />
programme of activities and workshops, across such a wide range of different needs<br />
every week, often leaves me wishing that I had a time turner like Hermione Granger.<br />
My main challenge is that there are just not enough hours in a day!<br />
What events are you looking forward to<br />
Well, the big news of the term has definitely been the success ofThe Hub, our youth club<br />
for teenagers on the autistic spectrum. We are delighted to have the support of the<br />
National Autistic Society for this group and hope that with their partnership we will see<br />
The Hub develop in to an even better social group.<br />
Also in the pipeline at the moment are two BIG projects for me. I have been very busy<br />
over the past half term ironing out the details for a new touring project, Fungus<br />
Humungous, an interactive theatrical play experience which I am in the process of<br />
seeking funding for.Also I have started to plan <strong>Eden</strong> <strong>Court</strong>’s first Accessible Arts<br />
Festival, which is shaping up to be awesome! It’s early days yet on both of these<br />
projects but, as they say...‘watch this space’!<br />

Children just love to sing, especially those who find it<br />
challenging to express themselves in other ways. Singing<br />
is such an inherent part of our heart and soul expression.<br />
It helps personal development, self confidence and frees<br />
blocked emotions. Singing reduces aggression by calming<br />
nerves and reducing blood pressure. Good breath control in<br />
singing uses the full energy of the body and literally tones it<br />
up! In this class we allow our kids to sing in total freedom,<br />
develop a healthy vocal sound and have fun as they express<br />
themselves.Vocal technique will be taught as we sing a wide<br />
variety of songs and have fun.<br />

community dance groups to join the “Hansel & Gretel,<br />
and Me” project in Spring 2013. The group, ranging<br />

forest and studio over five days to create a short<br />
dance film, inspired by the Hansel and Gretel story.<br />
There will be an initial research day, followed by two<br />
‘skill share’ sessions, before the five-day <strong>creative</strong><br />
intensive which will end with an outdoor, public<br />
screening of the final film. Some of the ideas<br />
generated by the group may also find their way into<br />
Christopher Hampson’s professional production of<br />
Hansel & Gretel in Winter 2013/14.<br />
This project is free and numbers are limited to thirty<br />
on a first come, first served basis. Participants must<br />
