The long awaited sequel to "Sweet Tooth" is available to book during Black History Month-October 2010, for secondary school and public audiences. Watch this space for further information about this exciting production which kicks off where "Sweet Tooth" left off- emancipation in the British Colonies. "Rivers to Cross" focuses on the lives of men of African descent who have made great achievements in the face of adversity, including Walter Tull, Ira Aldridge, Paul Robeson, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, J.J.Thomas, Dr Harold Moody and President Barack Obama. Part II of the "Sweet Tooth" Trilogy is an exciting merging of drama, music, video and dance to tell important life stories, educate and explore issues of racism and prejudice.
Magnets, Ducks and Superconductors
GAZEBO theatre-in-education company in partnership with Birmingham University presents an engaging way of teaching Physics. Sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council under the Partnerships in Public Engagement Programme.
'Magnets Ducks and Superconductors,' teaches key stage 3, year 9 pupils the impact of science and engineering on our daily lives, on society and on us as individuals. Performances, delivered by Gazebo, start from mid September this year until December, and start again in the summer term 2011.
This interactive play is less of a scripted drama, and more of an immersive experience, therefore each time it's unique and refreshing. The learning outcomes of the play are a deeper awareness of:
* The role played by science and engineering in our daily lives.
* The issues facing energy supply in the future
* The rewards of careers in science and engineering.
The project has been trialled in 6 Birmingham schools and received by local press coverage as well as excellent reviews. "I wish physics was usually that entertaining," "the audience got stuck into the workshop, it worked."
