Talawa Theatre Company’s flagship programme for emerging theatremakers, TYPT, is back this summer. A team of emerging Black artists aged 18-25 will work with established artists to create a brand-new show in four weeks, with invaluable access for young artists at the start of their careers to professional support including director Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu. This summer, the participants will create work themed around success.
The work, titled Heavy, is a reference to Stormzy’s acclaimed album Heavy is the Head. The work created during the programme will delve into the idea of success, what happens when you ‘make it’, and how success changes you.
