Odd Eyes Theatre is proud to announce a new collaboration with the Civil Aviation Authority and ELATT college supported with funding through Arts Council England.
PROJECT ELEVATE is an exciting opportunity for d/Disabled young people (16-24) to explore the remarkable history of aviation in England and for the Civil Aviation industry to pitch exciting career opportunities to diverse workforce. In partnership, we foster inclusivity, social mobility and equity.
Over the summer, ELATT students will take part in research trips to civil, military, and local historical sites, including Walthamstow Marshes, to the blue plaque of aviation pioneer Alliot Verdon Roe.
Inspired by the local legacy of A.V. Roe, 25 participants will work with OET’s Emilia Teglia, writer/director, to develop an original play which every participant will be invited to perform in, alongside three professional actors and artists. And not only will the production be showcased to guests from around the local area, it will also be filmed to be shared online and screened at Richmix in November, before touring film festivals worldwide.
PROJECT ELEVATE champions inclusion, creativity, and representation of d/Disabled young people.Through the project each participant will develop their skills, build confidence and center their voices in both the arts and the aviation sector.
