Blue Monday Platform returns! The next
staging of Blue Monday Platform is scheduled for Monday (October 29) at the
Catalina Theatre – with a jam packed programme of new talent!
Blue Monday Platform is a forum to
encourage young performing artists to explore, create and innovate. It is a
platform that operates on a basic "open mic" theory where the
Platform is yours for fifteen minutes. You can perform anything from poetry to
rap, sketches to play excerpts, mime to music.
Blue Monday Platform is on a mission to
change the perception of arts and get the youth back into theatres. The Blue
Monday Platform is trying to make theatre universal, accessible and appropriate
for all walks of life - and appealing and challenging to youth to engage with
their culture.
Theatre has to be an experience. The
problem nowadays is that theatre very often doesn't appeal to the youth, which
is what Blue Monday Platform is going about doing. It is theatre for youth put
on by youth!
Get involved in Blue Monday Platform for
this seed of an experience. Entry is free and all are welcome. The evening
starts at 19h00 on October 29 at Catalina Theatre, Wilsons Wharf. More
