About me: Robin James(second year Politics and History student, at Glasgow University and Convener of the Culture and Media Committee of the Scottish Youth Parliament);
Antony Okill(first year Acting student at the RSAMD and a member of Sheltland Youth Theatre);
and Megan McGarrigle (HND Community Arts student and a member of Toonspeak Young Peoples Theatre).
We are the first three Youth Associates for the new National Theatre of Scotland.
During the past year the we have been involved in visiting the NTS's opening productions of Home in three different cities. Watching rehearsals of Wolves in the Walls, helping out at the Learn Teams Exchange Festival and writing reviews of the young companies production of Oedipus the King.
We are currently in the final 6 months of our contracts, and are taking part in many different aspects of the company and wish to share it with others that is why from now on we will be posting items on this site that may not be found on the website as this page is all about what we are getting up to which you are all welcome to follow.
This July we will be again going along to help out at Exchange for the duration of the Festival and will be involved in fun stuff such as helping out at workshops,filming, reviewing and audio recording.
WATCH THIS SPACE!
Every day from the 2nd July -7th of July a daily blog of exchange will appear on this site giving a detailed personal account of Megan and Antony's time at Exchange.
Who I'd like to meet: Any one and everyone who is interested the arts and the work of The National Theatre of Scotland; the Youth Associates and the work they do and those who have any ideas about what the National Theatre of Scotland should be doing to get more people involved.
