and every time you shop online on the run up to christmas and beyond with your favourite stores and you'll raise money at the same time for Kinetic. It's that easy!!!

How it works donations vary between retailers but an average donation is 5% of your spend. Some insurance and mobile retailers pay a substantial one-off donation of up to £50. The donation amount is shown directly next to each retailer listing and your cause will receive 100% of the donation shown. For example, if the donation shown is 2.5%, your cause will receive 2.5p for every £1 you spend.

  • 2-6 April 2012
  • Performance/ Presentation 7 April 2012.
This project will intake up-to twelve 'students' from across Fife, to working towards achieving modules in:

This is a great opportunity for anyone who has in interest in Drama, and wants to develop their confidence and self esteem.

Kinetic Theatre in The West Fife Villages - Three Plays in Three Weeks
Posted Monday 16/07/11 by Claire Bloomfield
 <hv.jpg>
(One of the sets created for 'Run for your life.')  
 
This summer Kinetic Theatre is working along side Fife Council's Community Learning and Development team to collaborating with young people from High Valleyfield, Kincardine and Oakley, to create three original performances.  

The young people involved have to create all elements of their new performances from designing set to creating poster and writing the script.

Within a community setting we are using drama as a tool for informal education to develop the young peoples ability to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors.

So far we have created:

"Little peoples Big Talent" in Kincardine &

"Run for your life" in High Valleyfield.

We are in Oakley this week and are very much looking forward to where the imaginations and creativity of the young people will lead us

Kinetic Theatre @ National Festival of Youth Theatre 2011
     A Participants Perpective 
Posted Thursday 14/07/11 by Claire Bloomfield

 <nfyt_11.jpg>
Kinetic Theatre is bringing eleven of its participants from its youth theatres in Buckhaven and Oakley, to attend Scotland's leading celebratory festival of youth theatre this weekend.  The young people have all undertaken a variety of fundraising events to secure their places, from sponsored walks to silences.  

Sam Hardie has been a member (in Buckhaven) for five years and is very much looking forward to returning to the festival this year.

"I have attended the festival for the past four years and I have seen it grow bigger and bigger - each year it succeeding in getting better and better.  Every year I learn and experience new things and meet new people; it is most certainly a highlight of the summer, if not the year. 

It is NFYT's second year in returning to Rothes Halls, Fife and it is great to see such a fantastic opportunity return to Fife. As you may know or not know, Fife has areas of great multi-deprivesion and so NFYT is a great opportunity for young people in Fife to experience something new and exciting - maybe introducing them to a future love or hobby.

For me, NFYT coming to Fife is brilliant as I am an aspiring actor, it is great to see something on my door-step rather than having to travel to Edinburgh/ Glasgow or even London to try and get more experience and opportunities. In addition, I can not only see home-grown talent from youth theatres all around UK and even Norway but Fife can also show what they got as well. Promote YT truly provides a weekend where I can meet new people from all over the UK, but I can also learn and experience new things - I have learnt how to beat box in the past 2 years from the festival workshops.. but I won't showcase my beat-boxing talents just yet."

Kinetic Theatre; A young person perspective.
Posted Wed 08/06/11 by Ryan Gerrard



The Riddles At Ramshackles Rest was a great production. In the build up to the show, we went through lots of different techniques to get a part in the play. Vikki Wilson, the director for the production was amazing, she gave us the chance to make this show the best it could be.   

The play was set in the County of Campshire sometime in the past, the building of a Sauce Factory shatters the local’s daily routines and their horrific pasts are broadcast in local society magazine ‘Camshire life’.  As the story progresses and the locals are not happy but when murder enters the village the locals discover they have a lot more to fear than losing their precious village.   During this show, we all had such a laugh together and working with Vikki and other Kinetic members for the first time was a great opportunity.

I personally, would like to say well done to everyone that was involved in the production, and thanks to the people who helped us make the show funny and enjoyable.
  

Now that The Riddles At Ramshackles Rest is over, in the future I would love to move on from the Pantomime productions, onto more serious Drama productions that I will benefit from. I really want to learn a lot more from Kinetc Youth Theatre and about the way they work, it would be such an honor to be a part of something that will satisfy my ambition of wanting to become an actor.
 

In conclusion, I want to say well done and thanks everyone, it was amazing  to be a part of it.

Testimonials.
"Having witnessed a wide range of Kinetic’s work and listened to the young people they are supporting, I have nothing but admiration for their drive, enthusiasm and commitment and would certainly promote their work within schools. I cannot praise and thank them enough."
