A busy and successful 2009

FYT wave goodbye to a busy and successful 2009!

2009 was a very busy and exciting year for members of Fusion Youth Theatre. The group visited Japan for two weeks over the Easter break where they learnt about Noh Theatre & Taiko Drumming, had their very first talent competition – Young Talent 2009 and put on numerous productions through which they learnt about creating performances, the rehearsal process and backstage work. The senior drama group went on tour to Boston, Scunthorpe, Cleethorpes, Spilsby and Doncaster with their production of ‘Chomp – A Zombie Musical’ which was written for them by professional playwright, Andy Evans. They then took Chomp to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival that summer and performed as part of the largest arts festival in the world!

That summer the group worked at Franklin College to create a brand new piece of theatre based on the story of the Monkey King, the performance went on to win first place at the Skegness Youth Drama Festival in October!
New drama groups were set up in Cleethorpes & Caistor while the Grimsby Dance & Drama sessions continued to thrive and get stronger. New partnerships were formed with Franklin College and Caistor Yarborough School.
The year ended with a production of The Snow Queen in Cleethorpes.
