Faster
 

FASTER

‘ Line dot electric shock! Spider crawling up your back! Tight squeeze cool breeze! Playing dodge ball. Truth or dare? You promised, that’s the rules. Ugly bodies. Graffiti in a public toilet. Third-wheeling. Craving eye contact. Symphony of grotesque and vulgar. Dare me. I’ll do it. I don’t care. I’ll do anything. Just tell me and I’ll do it. How do you say stop when the pressure of the group is so intense?’

Canberra Youth Theatre (CYT) present Faster, an original devised work employing physical theatre and live painting. The piece explores the speed at which our lives move as we journey through adolescence – both externally and internally. Faster will be performed outdoors in the West Courtyard of the Gorman Arts Centre and will incorporate light and sound specifically designed for the conveyance of the story outdoors at night. Faster has been creatively developed collaboratively by the cast aged between 13 and 18 years and the directors Emily Sheehan and Kyle Walmsley. The performances will examine both the emotional and biological changes we experience as we grow up demonstrating the power of the adolescent voice.
