Over the last few weeks we have been supporting
Big Brum Theatre in Education Company
with their new WW1 project,
Ties that
Bind, which is supported by the HLF. We’ve been lucky enough to see
previous WW1 productions by Big Brum and have been in awe of their creativity,
passion and immense talent for working with young people in order to explore
complex and challenging situations.
Ties
that Bind involves working with young people from schools in Birmingham and
Wolverhampton to explore the experience of the young men involved in the First
World War and their relationship to each other. This week I went with Matt and
Richard from the company to Wolverhampton Archives, where I previously did some
work, to explore a particular deposit that I hoped would be inspiring for the
project.
