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