  • Performed by: JMC Academy's Emerging Actors Ensemble

'THIS IS ME THIS IS US' is a devised promenade work that asks: What is the world you want – what would that be? What would you do for your, and the next generation? To repair the world? Nine young performers reflect and respond to these questions, creating a new world in this visceral, gutsy promenade performance work. Surrounded by the absurdity of this world, they say NO MORE!

The piece is bold, physical, anarchic and honest. We need to hear these voices of the next generation.

"We all want to change the world, but when you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out"
- The Beatles
