Macau
In 2008 I began a three-year project with colleagues in Macau called Young Creative Voices. The project is produced by MacWac Theatre Company in partnership with the Inter-Universitarium Institutum Macaonese (IIUM). The project places young people at its centre.
Working with 10 young leaders at the core of the project we produce one devised project per year exploring an aspect of Macau's decolonisation. The 2008 performance worked on "memory", 2009 will work on "transition" and 2010 will focus on "transformation". YCV Macau also organises a year round program of events.
Young Creative Voices has been invited to perform at the International Drama in Education Association (IDEA) 2010 Conference in Brazil.
Funded by the British Council, the project's producer, Kami Leslie has just spent a week with me in Belfast meeting drama and youth leaders with a view to creating a Macau/Belfast international exchange.
