Risk

11 Oct 2009

Bounce is delighted to bring John Retallack's play RISK to Kingston for just two nights on the 5th and 6th November.

Risk is a well fashioned piece of theatre, that explores young people's need to push boundaries. Just as one wise guy moves up a notch from petty thieving to biting the hand that feeds him, another sees the world through the internet, but is unable to connect. A once model student falls in with a bad crowd, a girl swaps natural highs for bottled bliss, and a boy too sensitive for fisticuffs fights back another way.

Rarely performed in the UK, the play has been selected by Bounce's young company THEATRELAB, as they felt it was a true representation of the experiences of growing up in modern society. The ensemble feel of performance has blended into the production elements, with the group performing, choreographing, designing and composing for the show, with direction from Bounce's Artistic Director.

Housed in Studio 101 within Kingston College, the production runs on the 5th and 6th November. Tickets can be purchased by calling 02084081124 or emailing .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

The project was great for the children's confidence.
