Spring Break 2008

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

Challenge Toonspeak: Next Generation

This project will run in the first week of the holidays - We’re looking for a team of determined, creative young people to convince funders they should give us money.  How you do that will be decided by the group – you’ll have whatever materials there are in the Toonspeak office and studio (internet access, digital camera, video equipment, art supplies) and the Toonspeak staff to help you.

If you want to take part you'll need to come for an interview.  Interviews take place on Monday 24th March (Easter Monday) between 11am and 4pm.  It will be a 15 minute chat – nothing scary.  We will let everyone know if they’ve got into the project by Friday 28th March.

In the Depths...

This project will run in the second week of the holidays - Ever wondered what you’d find in the deepest seas?  Or what secrets hide at the bottom of the Clyde?  We’ll be running drama sessions looking at the spooky things found in an underwater world – whether there is a performance on Friday afternoon depends on the success of Challenge Toonspeak: Next Generation the week before.

You don't need to come to an interview for this one, though if loads of people want to take part priority will be given to the people who took part in week one.

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.
