Projects Onstage All Almeida projects offer young people the exciting opportunity to perform on the Almeida Theatre stage. In June and July 2009, we presented two fully staged productions developed especially for and by young people. Inspired directly by our work with Islington schools and the Young Friends of the Almeida scheme, All the little things we crushed and Or Nearest Offer formed a great portion of our work over the summer term. All the little things we crushed by Joel Horwood explored personal and social responsibility in the midst of a world ravaged by climate change. Performed by a professional cast on the set of Michael Attenborough’s production of When the Rain Stops Falling, the project offered free tickets to over 1,300 young people from across London over 3 days, and included a vast scheme of introductory workshops as well as a youth-led Climate Change Challenge conference, where delegates worked together to produce an ‘agenda for change’ - pledges to make their schools and home environments greener and more sustainable. All the little things we crushed was part of the When the Sun Starts Shining project, made possible by the generous support of J.P.Morgan. Or Nearest Offer was performed in July as part of the Almeida Summer Festival, and featured a talented cast of 15 Young Friends of the Almeida as a new company: GULP. They explored themes in all of the Almeida’s six plays in the 2008-09 season and with playwright Tanya Ronder, drew these ideas together into an hourlong piece exploring the chaos, fun, hopes and fears of the teenage experience over one hot summer in London. 25
