Plastic on our Beaches & in our Seas

Thanks to each of you for helping support our Summer Panto! We had over 150 audience members over three shows on Saturday. Please do keep in touch and follow us @FolkPAC or www.fpac.info for updates on new performances and training opportunities at the Folkestone Performing Arts Centre.

Folkestone's First Summer Panto on the Beach: May I introduce you to our Dame Victoria, fashion designer and businesswoman, largely responsible for bringing plastic punk and recycled fashions to Folkestone. OH, YES SHE IS! We are busy creating a piece of 'guerilla panto' throughout the Lower Leas Park. We will be popping up with our show throughout the day but will certainly be at the Amphitheatre at 1pm on Saturday 14 August. So, if you want to make sure to see the show, please do come at 1pm! Bring your water pistols and warm up your voices: Prepare yourself to cheer on the Goodies and 'Boooooo' the Baddies!!! Summer Panto in Folkestone! OH, YES IT IS!

Our participant, Anya, created the logo for the show. Don't forget 14 August, throughout the day at the Lower Leas Park. Check with: http://fpac.info/performance-information-for-audiences-of-folkestoneplasticproject for the latest details of times & locations on the 14th!

Yesterday marked the beginning of #FolkestonePlasticProject with a brilliant puppet-making workshop led by Andre Braga. We will begin rehearsals this Tuesday at the Lower Leas Amphitheatre. We are still looking for participants, so if you are in primary or secondary school and have an interest in the environment and the arts, please do be in touch!

Just a quick message to say that we are looking forward to beginning our rehearsals in 7 days time. Thank you so much for making this project happen. We still have a couple of remaining spaces for anyone [12 to 25 YO] who may want to participate: If you or someone you know is interested in using their creative talents to raise awareness of the environmental impact that plastic is having on coastal towns like Folkestone, then the Folkestone Performing Arts Centre needs your help! No experience is necessary. All rehearsals and performances will happen on the Lower Leas Amphitheatre in Folkestone. Learn New Skills and Meet New People.
