I am currently in the process of helping to direct the Foundation Degree Year Two's in their final show. This experience has taught me alot, not only with how to help mould ideas together but also how societies issues- which on the surface are believed to be "adult" issues- are infact in the minds of young people. This provide me with more evidence as to why my investigation into issue based theatre being a successful vehiclefor tackling unsolvable issues is so important to do!
Young people myself included have ideas, worries and solutions- same as the older generations however we just have a different way of expressing these ideas- and society SHOULD and MUST become adaptable inorder to provide a forum to which every idea no matter how presented is as valued and acknowledged as the next.

Meadway follow up
Since my last visit to Meadway Youth offenders... it has inspired me to use what i gained from this workshop and also to try and make another appointment for Crime of the Century to go in and have a follow up workshop. Due to circumstance it would not be possible for Crime of the Century to do its usual 7week programme however a follow up would be helpful.
Ive started gathering information which i am going to need for my end project. Ive got a testimonial from Brooke Kinsella, and also some interviews and conferences which i have been to about the issue of knife crime- and also the positive outcome which Crime of the Century has on its audiences.
The true beauty of what i will eventually try to prove is that issue based theatre- crime of the century particularly can reach ALL types of audiences regardless of age, ethnicity, social standing and wealth. Therefore it has to be the best way to bridge those gaps between all the different boxes and labels in society.
Although i have deferred my project due to poor time management I'm starting to really enjoy what i am doing and am investigating a topic which i am very very passionate about!
Please feel free to leave your thoughts positive or negative as it will all help my investigation
