A vital workshop for young people, led by young people.

Join the four young creators and performers of Strike A Light’s theatre show ‘I stand for what I stand on’ for a workshop session exploring what it means to be a teenage climate activist right now and how theatre can be used as a tool for activism. The session will include snippets from the show itself, as well as giving an insight into the creation of the piece through interactive tasks, games and discussions.

In 2019 Strike a Light met a group of striking young climate activists from Gloucester. We met them shouting in the streets. They were a small group of extraordinary young people from Gloucester aged 14-18.  Protesting with banners and their voices. Shouting for their future and shouting in the wind. Shouting to survive. Shouting words of wisdom and shouting speeches beautifully crafted that would put many politicians to shame, they were often met with abuse. Strike A Light offered them some office space to hold their meetings and two years later we have co-created a new live theatre show with them, which includes a digital cast of international young activists - ‘I stand for what I stand on’.

This workshop is for young people ages 12-20 and we recommend also booking a ticket to the show ‘I stand for what I stand on’, taking place 18.15 Sunday 7th November in the Theatre at Warwick Arts Centre. Book tickets here (free for under 18s).
