Oxford features in Liverpool '08 festival
 |
| Portait of a Nation at Liverpool 08 |
An amazing opportunity for young people aged 14 - 22 to take part in the European Capital of Culture Finale in Liverpool in December this year. Portrait of a Nation is a dramatic conclusion to the year in which young people from Oxford and other Capitals of Culture will be taking part in a short performance about their city.
Promoted by Oxford Inspires (the cultural agency for Oxfordshire), Oxfordshire Youth Arts Partnership (OYAP) and Pegasus Theatre, any young people interested in being part of the performance must come from an established youth arts organisation and a maximum of 15 young performers will be required.
The theme of the piece will be about Oxford as a migratory city - communities who have arrived here, left something of themselves and moved on. The focus will be on physical theatre creating a visual spectacle with music. The whole may be performed as separate episodes or a single piece.
