Tristan will write a new play based on the experiences of young people for Cherwell Theatre Company in 2023.
Endorsed by the Thames Valley Office for the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC), CTC will deliver a series of arts-based programmes to secondary schools in Banbury and the surrounding areas, as part of the wider Safer Streets offering, funded by the Home Office.
The 'Enact' intervention will explore themes of healthy relationships and schools-based gendered abuse using creative art forms to promote and encourage thought-provoking conversation. Through a series of classroom based workshops, students will design and deliver arts-based workshops to younger students in their school alongside plays devised and performed by professional creatives and shared in a professional setting.
Tristan joins three other playwrights on the first phase of project. The plays will be produced in March 2023, directed by Emelia Hutchinson.
