Daryl Beeton is recalling a drama course run by Half Moon Young Peoples’ Theatre last year, in Tower Hamlets. DJ and producer Steve Bicknell, renowned for establishing the ‘Lost’ underground dance events in the early ‘90s in London, worked with young people with disabilities to create a piece of theatre and an accompanying soundtrack. The CD the group produced by the end of the week-long course has now become the soundtrack for Half Moon’s latest professional touring show. It was, Beeton says, one of the most enjoyable projects he has worked on since taking up the post of Associate Director (Community and Disability) with the company just over a year ago.
Half Moon looks at the whole picture
After almost 30 years of working with young people, with a strong emphasis on social inclusion, Half Moon Young People's Theatre is responding to a gap identified in the changing social landscape in London. As part of the Creative Capital scheme, the company is launching workshops to better equip tutors with the skills to teach groups of young people representing various levels of ability.
