DNA brings together the countless journeys taken by the generations that came before us in this exciting showcase by Tara Theatre’s first Young Company. The innovative and paid engagement programme consisted of a collaborative process over 12 weeks of workshops, devising, movement, rehearsal and tech culminating in a sharing on the 19-22 April. The 11 Young Company members are formed of actors and theatremakers aged 18-25 who are based in London but whose backgrounds span the globe, from Albania to Pakistan. It’s refreshing to see a company formed of actors and practitioners from non-traditional drama backgrounds taking ownership of their cultural DNA.
