Just back from Athens and a fantastic Festival of Greek Youth Theatre. Grasshopper Youth Theatres terrific festival at the Onassis Cultural Centre was a fantastic experience
The quality of ensemble playing, commitment and understanding was a real joy and of the highest standard. The conference on the last day was great. My input went well. I talked about the vital partnership between YPT and YT. Ros Hutt also at the festival and she talked about her ground breaking commissioning when at Theatre Centre and The Unicorn. Met Robert Landy from NYU NY. A real inspiration. Had a very interesting few days with great debates. Also met the wonderful Dave Pamenter who now lives in Athens. Glorious
