Hello and Happy Monday!
Welcome to Episode 16 of Garrick Chats With…
As we near the end of Series 2, we’re really thrilled to have had the opportunity to chat with such a variation of interesting guests. Although we're preparing to transition our podcast into the theatre as restrictions lift, we still love having the opportunity to connect with our guests via Zoom. And this week, Garrick Chats With... welcomes it's first international guest, Katrin Janser Fors, all the way from Switzerland!
Two of our Senior students, Annie (18), and Adam (17) chat this week with Katrin, who is the president of the organisation EDERED (European Drama Encounters). Katrin's vast career has involved working with drama students in Switzerland and internationally, creating numerous festivals and productions in the most interesting of locations.
Our Youth Tutor and Director, Faye, first met the admirable Katrin in Poland during the 2016 EDERED encounter. Today's host, Annie, joined Faye and Katrin in Finland in 2019 as a student to work with other young performers from twelve different countries. This interview was a great opportunity for the gang to catch up, whilst introducing Adam and our listeners to the dynamic world of International Youth Theatre.
Katrin, it was lovely to hear how yourself and the organisation have adapted during the pandemic, and have continued engage and connect young people within theatre and performance. Thank you so much for this truly unique Garrick Chats With... episode!
To everyone else, we hope you enjoy
Have a great week,
Stockport Garrick Youth
