The impact of comedy, entertainment and the arts in World War I...
We've been working alongside a group of lovely high school students from various schools across Merseyside to look at the impact of comedy and the arts had in WW1.
The weekly run project started in January and is due to culminate with a fantastic exhibition and performance of the participants' own devising at the Museum of Liverpool in May 2017. We've worked alongside historians, physical theatre practitioners, directors, character development tutors and of course comedians to help the students in their creation of:
-
A vaudeville style performance that will be showcased to an audience
-
A transportable exhibition to display in the Museum of Liverpool, care homes and various venues across the city
-
Their very own silent movie which will be recorded and available
We can't wait to see what's in store!
We would like to express our deepest thanks to the Heritage Lottery Fund for awarding us a grant to make this exciting and fun project possible for young people across Merseyside.
