With spaces still available Q Theatre has extended the application deadline for The Part We Play time capsule until Friday June 4. Year 11-13 Students Apply NOW!

Auckland’s Q Theatre is giving students in year 11-13 who have a passion for any aspect of performing arts the opportunity to work with talented professional performers and leave their imprint in the new theatre as it is being built.

On Saturday the 19th of June, Q Theatre will invite 30 Auckland based students to impart their experiences, hopes, messages or stories in a time capsule that celebrates the important parts they have to play in our community. The Part We Play time capsule will then be imbedded within the walls of the theatre during construction.

As part of the experience the students will also spend the day in a free devising workshop run by talented performers from youth-focussed Massive Theatre Company. The workshop will encourage them to draw on their own lives and stories. The youths will also connect with experienced professional practitioners and be taken onto the construction site of the theatre during its foundation-laying phase.

This event will mark the beginning of a future where young artists will be offered ongoing opportunities to connect and grow through the performing arts with Q Theatre.

In ten years Q Theatre will invite the participants to reopen their capsule and see how they and the new theatre have developed.

How to Apply:

Any student from year 11- 13 in the Greater Auckland area that is involved in some way in the performing arts and available all day on Saturday 19th of June is eligible.

Simply download then fill out the application form (attached below) and return it to Q Theatre no later than Friday 4th June 2010

Students will be randomly selected, and will be notified by Wednesday 9th June.
