If you are aged between 14 and 21 years, and think you have the enthusiasm and motivation to hack it as a professional actor, we want you to audition for the Bruiser Theatre Summer Schools. Bruiser, in association with the Old Museum Arts Centre, is hosting TWO intensive ten-day theatre schools, during the summer holidays. Young actors will get the opportunity to work with professional theatre directors (Lisa May, Artistic Director of “Bruiser Theatre Company” & Ross Anderson, Artistic Director of “Nor Nothin’”), towards a theatre performance using Bruiser’s unique physical style. Participants will experience the visually exciting, rhythmic, choral and choreographic elements for which Bruiser is renowned, by participating in a series of theatre workshops, which will be both informative and fun. Participants will learn how to think outside the box, and bring text to life with adventurous and dynamic ensemble playing. The summer schools will result in two professional public performances in The Old Museum Arts Centre.

‘College Square North’ is the place to see the hard-hitting play ‘Joyriders’, about four teenagers from Divis Flats in West Belfast. The play explores the issues faced by the characters as they take part in the Government’s ‘Joyride of the 80’s’, the Youth Training Scheme. Set to the backdrop of the troubles, class struggle and anti social behaviour, the teenagers reveal their aspirations and dreams through jaunty, tense and often funny dialogue. The production will be produced and performed by the members of ‘The Company’, The Rainbow Factory’s semi-autonomous Youth Theatre Group of young people aged 16-25 as part of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival 2008. Tickets from Joanne on 028 90 240551 or book online at www.cqaf.com
