The Northern Journey – Overview
The central themes of the performance will be similar to that of other education theatre productions such as Zip Theatre and Cragrats, including life choices about education, different progression routes and the various ways students can explore different careers opportunities delivered in an entertaining and interactive format. Ultimately the aim of the performance is to enhance students understanding of HE in its broadest sense and to compliment existing activity at other Higher Education institutions such as ACE days.
The play itself centres around two characters, Chris and Amy who are due to leave school and face a tough decision on where their next steps will lead them. Sixth Form, College and Employment are some of the many options that they must choose from in the coming weeks. Pressure from their parents on the day before a college visit is no help at all as Chris and Amy travel into the T.V to begin their ‘Northern Journey’ which will guide and aid them to make decisions on the next stage of their lives. The performance has been written and directed by BASE Theatre Company with the actors involved in the performance being current Newcastle College HE students studying Music and Performing Arts Foundation Degrees.
