Autumn Exchange

Well done to all who were involved in the programming, hosting, performing and presenting at this year's Autumn Exchange. This mini festival is a showcase of work for children in Scotland and the quality of work was fantastically high. There were a good number of tour-ready shows plus some discussions and a few works-in-progress. Some personal highlights, and things to look out for in the future were:

The Monster in the Hall by TAG. Brilliant, fast-paced show for teenagers. It was funny, well performed, really slick direction and a great way to kick off the festival.

Cloud Man by Ailie Cohen. A beautiful wee show for young ones that stylishly incorporated performance, visual theatre and puppetry. Plus it had some great music.

Paperbelle by Frozen Charlotte. A wee gem of a show that started off like a blank canvas and ended up being a joyful celebration of colour.

Lots of other things to remember and be inspired by. Well done to all involved!
