Spring Break 2008

See below for the video that the Next Generation of Challenge Toonspeakers made about Toonspeak:

Challenge Toonspeak: Next Generation

We recruited a team of determined, creative young people to convince funders they should give us money.  How to do that was decided by the group – using the materials in the Toonspeak office and studio (internet access, digital camera, video equipment, art supplies) and the Toonspeak staff to help.

In the Depths...

Ever wondered what you’d find in the deepest seas?  Or what secrets hide at the bottom of the Clyde?  This time round Toonspeak were looking at the spooky things found in an underwater world, leading up to a wonderful perfromance on the Friday afternoon.

Here are some of our past projects...

October Week 2007

More than 20 young people spent a week in Barmulloch making sock puppets and acting with them in scenes.  There was a sharing on the Friday afternoon when friends and family got to see the completed scenes and meet some of the crazy characters.

October Week 2006

A group of young people worked with the themes Fireworks and Hallowe'en to create a performance for the Copperworks Backlands Festival in Royston.

Easter 2006

Using a combination of video scenes filmed in the Toonspeak studio and a live performance, the Nicky and Mickey Travel Chat Show was created during week one.

The second week of the Easter Holidays was dedicated to one day tasters, covering skills as diverse as Singing/Songwriting, Capoeira, Puppet making and Giant Origami.

October Week 2005

Ever wanted to be a Superhero?  For one week back in 2005 that's exactly what some of the Toonspeak members did, complete with special powers and capes and everything.

October Week 2004

A special space-themed project to get everyone in the mood for the summer show the following summer, Pictures in the Stars.
