Welcome to the International Youth Arts Festival, now in its sixth year and blossoming much like a child into an inde-pendent, creative, flourishing thing some-times with so much life and dynamism we are not sure which way it’s going to run!

I am delighted to welcome you all, audiences and participants, to join us in Kingston for what I am sure is going to be the most spectacular festival yet. The magic the fes-tival brings is very special to all of us, allowing our local community and au-diences from around the country of all ages to en-joy the talents of the very best of young people’s work from around the world.

Young trainee proj-ect managers have spent months preparing and programming events for the festival, a team of over 25 students from across Europe are running our press team, 2 phenomenally talented young people created this beautiful bro-chure and our incredible team of volun-teers are the cogs that make the festival dance, working in the production office,backstage, looking after visiting compa-nies and driving our marketing and pub-licity forwards.

I would like to thank the young people we work with who inspire us every single day; without listening to their ideas this festival would be a far less joyous place. I would also like to give enormous thanks to all the staff, mentors, steering group and trustees who provide support to the young people we work with and share their skills and experiences which allow

these ambitious ideas to see the light of day. A huge thanks also goes out to our sponsors, partners and funders - without whom Creative Youth’s work would sim-ply not be possible.

I hope you all have a wonderful festival. My last words of advice - buy a festival pass - it gives you access to ev-ery single performance at the festival for an un-

reasonably cheap price! Come and see our opening concert, Raise the Roof on the 11th July and get a taste for what’s coming up. Mostly. Enjoy yourselves. Eek every moment out. Smile. We only get this once a year.

In 2010 Creative Youth launched its CREATIVE TALENT programme which identifiesyoung and emerging artists and gives them the artistic, business and strategic support to become flourishing, challenging, e citing organisations of the future. The programme provides year long support to the practitioners we believe will shape the future of the arts in the UK. In 2013 we began to see real success with the first th ee companies graduating from the programme as self sufficient flourishing ganisations.

The nine companies that Creative Talent is currently supporting are:

Circus Suburbia

Circus Suburbia is a dynamic, young, contemporary circus company providing high quality entertainment at events and festivals as well as circus training, work-shops and community engagement.

Circus Suburbia cabaret showcases at the ACT Main House on Sunday 20th @ 1.30pm & 5.30pm & Monday 21st @ 8.30pm

“The supportive nature of the charity means that we can try new ideas, take risks and find out what works, but most importantly, allows us to give performance opportunities to our Youth Circus and the chance to teach them about the entertainment industry.”

Smoking Apples

Smoking Apples create inspiring and freeing theatre using a unique style and approach to creating an alternate kind of puppet theatre. They aim to ignite the adult imagination by sharing beautiful stories about the strengths and intricacies of human nature.

Smoking Apples perform In our Hands at the Rose Theatre Studio onTuesday 22nd @ 8.30pm & Wednesday 23rd July @ 6.45pm


Filskit Theatre

Filskit Theatre is an all-female ensemble with a passion for micro-projection. With an innovative use of technology they create work that ignites the imagination of children and adults alike.

“Joining forces with Creative Youth has helped us to think about ways in which we can turn our theatre company, our labour of love into a sustainable business. The mentor-ing and support that Creative Youth offer, enables us to turn our ambitious plans into a reality.”

Tankus the Henge The world of Tankus the Henge is uplifting and wild, dark and heartfelt. A six piece pow-erhouse of a band drawing visual and musical influences rom old time fairgrounds to mod-ern day circus; The Beatles to Tom Waits and Gogol Bordello to Radiohead, they embody a look and a sound that lies somewhere be-tween their South East London home and the carnival town of New Orleans.

EDDance

EDDance is a London-based company of dance artists under the direction of choreographer Edd Mitton who enjoy working in a variety of styles and spaces, but always share a commitment to making work for performance which is beautiful, intelligent and accessible.

“It’s wonderful to have the support of Creative Youth. Their experience of management, budgeting and all the ‘behind-the-scenes’ stuff that goes into producing art work is really valuable as a young artist, and our regular meetings and mentoring sessions help keep my process on track. Ultimately, their confidence in me and my work is a real boost.”

"I just wanted to send a big HELLLOOO over to Kingston. I am fina ly back in my German everyday-life and the IYAF pictures on facebook make me want to come back instantly! I am sure you guys have a really good time and enjoy what you have creat-ed. Raise the Roof was an impressive, amazing night. We had so much fun! Thank you so much for making my time in Kingston such a great experience! I really hope I can

find a way to join IYAF 2014."

"The Iyaf team proved to be extremely open-minded and supportive of my

reportage drawing. Not only did they let me come up with a brand new kind of volunteering, but they gave me rec-ognition, appreciation; they welcomed me in a family I knew nothing about.

This experience is very precious to me, it is one of a kind, and I feel very lucky

to be part of this fantastic festival"

"IYAF has completely changed my career path. It was an incredibly eye opening and

really taught me those things that you never ever learn behind the school desk.. I knew I was capable of doing the work that I do but I never really had the chance to see it my-self. IYAF was extremely important for my

career and I can't stress enough how lucky I was to be part of this lovely team."


“A privilege for Kingston to have such rich talent, spectacle, imagination

and smile- and thought-provoking art on its cobbled plate."

"The Festival passes gave me and my family two weeks of eye opening,

mind altering, laughter inducing, tear making fun at next to no cost. What a thrill to be able to

see a different show every night in your own town. Bliss."

"Over the past two years I feel I have grown emotionally and mentally alongside the festival my confidence when talking to people of all ages has massively increased. I have found it easier to try new activities and take different jobs across the festival and I have taken opportunities which have led me to where I am today."

"I would recommend volunteering at Creative Youth to anybody of any age. The passion shared by the

staff and volunteers is infectious and inspirational. I will never forget my experience at IYAF and will con-

tinue volunteering for as long as I can!"
