Northcott Young Company: Past, Present and Future Voices

THE BACK END OF THE COW AND OTHER STORIES

As part of our Heritage Project, our Northcott Young Company created an original piece of verbatim theatre, inspired by the stories of people connected to the Northcott, past and present.

The creation of the Northcott Young Company heritage show The Back End of the Cow and Other Stories was a highlight of our year in terms of Children and Young People’s work.

Not only were we able to create a show with 15 of our young people, we also offered early career opportunities for 2 former Northcott Young Company members and a University of Exeter undergraduate student.

The 5 backstage promenade performances were all sell-outs and really positively received.

Watch the full performance below…

VERBATIM THEATRE EDUCATION RESOURCE

In conjunction with the making of this show we have developed a schools’ education resource.

This in-depth teaching and learning resource is aimed at Key Stages 3 and 4 and encourages students to use verbatim theatre techniques to make their own piece of promenade theatre.
