Situation
Very often nowadays adults and young people find it hard to communicate effectively with each other. This could be partly due to the fact that young people just simply do not have the opportunity to engage with adults fully, apart from with their families/carers and teachers. Changes in lifestyle could also be partly to blame. As a result young people and adults often make prejudgments about one another.
Solution
Young participants from the Nuffield Theatre's Youth Theatre will work together with the Participation Director to develop an unusual innovative improvised piece based on communication called Kontakt. Kontakt was created and developed by Phillip Mackenzie for The Sherman Cymru Youth Theatre; the project is a series of one-to-one performances with 20 young people. A young person will sit at a table and invite an adult audience member to take a seat opposite them for a unique encounter.
