National Youth Theatre is the only British company to have been invited to take part in the International Youth Arts Festival in the run up to the Beijing Olympics. We are hoping to take our critically acclaimed production of Silence and to be the first British Company to appear on the stage at the stunning National Centre for Performing Arts in Beijing. All we need is the money to make it happen! 'Silence' on it's UK Tour Earlier this year, a team of three volunteers took part in a cultural exchange, to Beijing, China. The volunteers are working with students from the Central Academy of Fine Art (CAFA) to make an interactive film to be shown as part of the ‘East to East’ project on April 30th. Now the team is back, they are working with more volunteers to build on the project whilst still communicating interactively with the CAFA students. Click here to see the blog of progress.
